Excerpt from A Handbook to Political Questions of the Day: And the Arguments on Either Side, With an Introduction
This Handbook has been out of print for some years, but distaste to the unattractiveness of revision has delayed the preparation of a fresh edition.
However, as the demand for the book continues, it. Seems well that a new edition should be issued.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compendium of arguments both for and against a variety of political reform measures that were prominent in the United Kingdom at the turn of the 20th century. The author's intention was to provide a nonpartisan reference for reasonable debate on each issue, with equal time given to proponents and detractors. The most important topics include the enfranchisement of women, welfare for the poor, education reform, and the regulation of hours and conditions for working people. The arguments presented against these reforms show a deep fear among the wealthy of the time that the increased empowerment of the working class and the poor would lead to societal upheaval and economic collapse. The arguments in favor show a growing recognition that women and the poor deserved a greater voice in government and that many of society's existing ills stemmed from the inhumane treatment of the working class. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the political debates of the era and the evolution of many of the policies and social safety nets that we take for granted today.
