Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Index of Municipal Offices: Compiled From the Appendixes to the First Report of the Commissioners Appointed to Inquire Into the Municipal Corporations in England and Wales, 1835; With an Historical Introduction 1. It is hoped that the following Index of Municipal Offices in England and Wales may prove of use, not only to the historian and student of our local institutions, but also to those political thinkers who are now paying so much attention to the important question of local self-government. It is much to be lamented that it is necessary to appeal to two classes of readers here: it should not be so. The first mentioned need not necessarily belong to the second; but the second should in every way be identified with the first. So much reform of our old local institutions has taken place without any consideration as to their past history; so many empirical schemes have been fashioned; in short, Local Boards and Poor Law Boards, Commissioners and Parochial Committees, have been in so many cases called upon to do duties which properly belong to the already existing parish vestry or municipal borough, that there is danger of losing sight of that wonderful machinery of local self-government which has made England so powerful in her national government. To concentrate within a small compass one definite portion of local government institutions is an undertaking, therefore, not unfitted for the work of the Index Society. 2. The source from which the Index has been compiled is the Appendixes to the Report of the Commissioners on the Municipal Corporations of England and Wales, published in 1835, and upon which the Act of William IV. "for the regulation of municipal corporations in England and Wales" was founded. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
