Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Speakers of the House of Commons From the Earliest Times to the Present Day: With a Topographical Description of Westminster at Various Epochs; A Brief Record of the Principal Constitutional Changes During Seven Centuries It is now more years ago than I care to remember since the outline of this book suggested itself to me. Undeterred by the adverse opinion of some who insisted that there was little or nothing, worth the telling, to be said of the earlier Speakers - with the possible exceptions of Coke, Lenthall and Arthur Onslow, to mention the three names which most readily occur to the superficial enquirer - I received sufficient encouragement from the late Sir Archibald Milman and other friends to induce me to supplement and revise the earlier labours of Townsend and Manning in the same field. The outcome of these years of toil, performed in the intervals of official duty, is a blend of history and biography based on authentic records, and leavened, here and there, with topographical matter tending to throw light upon some of the obscurities which surround the origin of Parliaments.
