Excerpt from An Address to the Members of the Legislature on Reform
Trade and manufactures do not appear to have flourished in England to any great extent before the reign of Henry the Se venth. The great advances then made in the woollen and other trades completely altered the face of the country, and the state of society. These advantages were confirmed, when, in the reign of Eliza beth, the trade of the Low Countries was ruined, and transferred to Great Britain.
Great commercial enterprises were now undertaken; large fortunes were realized by them; and a fresh source of national Opulence was opened.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, researched from historical records, charts the evolution of property ownership and representation in parliament, from medieval times to the early nineteenth century. The author argues that, in the early stages of the British parliamentary system, power was vested in those who owned the most land. As the economy and society shifted, the landed gentry began to lose their grip on power to a new, wealthier class of merchants and manufacturers. The author argues that this shift in the distribution of wealth and power was not adequately reflected in the parliamentary system, which led to growing demands for reform. The author concludes by discussing the arguments for and against electoral reform, and the potential impact of such reform on the British political system.
