Sidney and Beatrice Webb were among the outstanding political personalities in the period 1890-1945. They were leading figures in the Fabian Society, prominent historians, and founders of the London School of Economics and the New Statesman. They exchanged letters with many of the leading figures in the political, intellectual and literary worlds of the time, among them Herbert Asquith, Ramsay MacDonald, George Bernard Shaw and Bertrand Russell. Volume II of the letters covers the years between the Webb marriage and their return from Asia in 1912. They were the prime years of the partnership, in which the Webbs came to dominate the Fabian Society, founded the London School of Economics and launched their campaign for the reform of the Poor Law.

English Local Government: The Story of the King's Highway (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from English Local Government: The Story of the King's HighwayAT the beginning of the year 1913 the Story of the King's H ighway - an account of how, in England and Wales, the roads have actually been made and managed, from the earliest times down to the present day - may claim a certain topical interest. The advent on the roads of the automobile and the motor omnibus is producing effects, both on public opinion and on adminis tration, which are curiously parallel to those produced, three centuries ago, by the coming in of the carriage and the waggon. The New Users of the roads in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, whose aggressions on the pedestrians and on the road surface were made the subject of persistent complaint in their day, are now themselves resenting the quite analogous aggres sions of the New Users of the roads in the twentieth century. A hundred years ago, as our eighth chapter relates, the country was saved by Pontifex Maximus Telford and Macadam the Magician. We do not find ourselves able to foretell the name of our twentieth-century deliverer, nor even the message that he will bring, or the office that he will hold! We limit our suggestions or predictions to the last two pages.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
