Modern England Before the Reform Bill, Volume 1 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)
From the Reform Bill to the Present Time
Britain’s Reform Bill of 1832
Expanded voting and workers’ rights, corrected electoral abuses, and abolished slavery in the colonies. In this first of a two-volume 1898 social history, the author paints a picture of the country before reform. As Napoleon falls, the democratic stirrings are on the rise in a world inhabited by Whigs and Tories, royalists and conspirators, orators and poets.
