Excerpt from Electoral Reform in England and Wales: The Development and Operation of the Parliamentary Franchise, 1832-1885The difficulty of tracing such changes in a single vol ume has not been small, and I wish to express my deep gratitude to those who have given their assistance. The kindly and inspiring advice and supervision Of Professor W. C. Abbott is largely accountable for the gathering of material into a doctoral dissertation, much of which has been included in the present volume. My thanks are also due especially to Professors C. M. Andrews, Allen J ohn son, H. S. Canby, and S. B. Hemingway, who have read parts Of the manuscript and Offered many valuable sug gestions and criticisms. I am also indebted for constant and untiring assistance to Mr. E. Byrne Hackett and his assistants of the Yale Press, to the authorities of the Yale University Library, as well as to the authorities Of the British Museum and of the Columbia University and New York Public Libraries.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
