Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Government in Great Britain In the present volume I have sought to give such an account of the working of municipal institu tions in Great Britain as would supply the infor mation that American readers might find most suggestive and useful for their purposes. A second volume will treat, somewhat similarly, of municipal government in the chief countries of Continental Europe. The British system and its developments, particularly in the great manufacturing and com mercial towns, would seem to be worthy of the practical attention of our ambitious American cities of corresponding rank as regards population and commercial importance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Essay on English Municipal History The state of the ancient boroughs of this island, in regard to their local government, has furnished a fruitful theme to political enquirers during the two last centuries. Theories have been advanced and conjectures hazarded on this sub jcet of the most varied nature. While some writers have ascribed the origin of English municipalities to the institu tions introduced by the Romans, others have referred them to the Saxon population. While, on the one hand, the attempt has been made to prove that we owe all our local liberties to the monarchs of the country flourishing subec quent to the Norman Conquest, on the other, arguments have been employed to establish that those liberties were enjoyed before the monarchs in question existed. While, again, by some jurists, the old Corporations of England have been identified with the more ancient manorial Courts, by another authority their origin has been found in the Merchant Guilds of primitive twee.

Download or read book Municipal Ownership in Great Britain Classic Reprint written by Hugo Richard Meyer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Ownership in Great Britain This book is the second of a series of four books which will give the results of the authors examination of the actual working, in important instances, of the public regulation and the government ownership and operation of the so-called public service industries: the railway, the telegraph, the street railway, the electric light, the electric power plant, and the telephone. The investigations in question have been carried on since the fall of 1892, and they have covered the United States, Great Britain, Germany, and Australia. The books embodying the results of the investigations will follow each other in quick succession. But that does not mean that they are in any way hasty productions. It has been the authors policy to delay publication until he had covered the entire field, because he desired to put at the disposal of the public the means of comparing the experience of several countries in the various kinds of experiments, without long intervals between the successive books setting forth that experience.

Download or read book Municipal Records Classic Reprint written by F. J. C. Hearnshaw and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Records Burgi (1726) ranks easily first. It presents a valuable collection of extracts from pipe rolls and other public records relating to the cities and boroughs of England. It does not profess, how ever, to draw upon local as well as national sources, and even in respect of the national sources it is fairly complete only for the thirteenth and four teenth centuries. Among the partisan treatises two are specially eminent. One is Robert Brady's Historical Treatise of Cities and Boroughs written in defence of civic and burghal charters at a time when conflict between Whig and Tory, Conformist and Nonconformist, central and local government, caused party passion to wax particularly hot. The other is Merewether and Stephen's History of the Boroughs and Municipal Corporations of the United Kingdom This is a massive work in three volumes composed as a contribution to the controversy concerning the reform of town administration which culminated in the Municipal Corporations Act of 1835. It is of incomparably more value than Brady's treatise, but it is vitiated by a persistent determination on the part of the authors to see in every kind of mediaeval court or council evidence of the existence of an original popular assembly or folkmoot.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gild Merchant a Contribution to British Municipal History, Vol. 1 My thanks are due to the custodians of the various archives mentioned above. The town clerks in charge of the local records were, with a single exception, exceedingly courteous. My thanks are especially due to Rev. R. H. Clutterbuck of Andover and Dr. R. R. Sharpe, Records Clerk of the City of London. Mr. F. T. Barrett of the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, and Mr. George Stronach of the' Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, facilitated my work while I was in Scotland searching for books relating to burghal history. Mr. Stronach has frequently furnished me with extracts from works in accessible in the British Museum. My friend, Mr. F. York Powell, has helped me with suggestions; and his encourage ment has stimulated me to greater effort throughout the progress of this work. The author has attempted to furnish certain new facts relating to the history of municipalities. The great need in this branch of study at present is the production of facts or fundamental data. Such data are scattered in profusion throughout the heaps of dusty records in the local archives. Investigators ought to make more use of these rich veins of precious ore.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal Government in Continental Europe To some critics it may appear that I have ascribed undue importance to Paris as a type and an influence; yet I can hardly think that anv reader will fail to agree that Paris is the necessary starting-point for a description of the modern regime in Continental cities. In the preceding volume I found it advanta geons to select Glasgow for the more rounded and elaborate study of British municipal life in the con crete. In my own inquiries and observations as an American visitor, I had discovered that to know well the ways and works of the Glasgow municipality was to possess standards of comparison and points of view which afforded the best possible equipment for the further examination of municipal methods and achievements, whether in Edinburgh and Dundee, in Belfast and Dublin, or in Manchester, Birmingham.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Bibliography of British Municipal History: Including Gilds and Parliamentary Representation This Bibliography comprises books, pamphlets, magazine articles, and papers of learned societies, relating wholly or in part to British municipal history; in other words, to the governmental or constitutional history of the boroughs of Great Britain, including gilds and parliamentary representation. Town histories which do not deal with any of these topics, purely topographical works, and parish histories are omitted. The Introduction gives a brief survey of the principal categories of sources (the public and local records and the town chronicles) and a critical account of the modern literature. Fart I. contains the titles of the general authorities, while Fart II. is devoted to works concerning particular towns. The notes appended to the titles in Part I. should be useful to. students interested in the history of any particular borough, who are often inclined to neglect the public records and other general authorities; they will find all the references to a given town, in both parts of the book, indicated in the Index under the name of that town. An attempt has been made to give some estimate of the value and character of the roost important books. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The haisla on the railings outside Great St. Mary's Church, Cambridge, are not exammes of the best work of the fifteenth century; they were supplied to the churchwardens in 1851. The skulls found at the corner of Park Street and Jesus Lane in the same town were not those of ancient Britons or Romans or Danes, but, as the parochial registers of All Saints' showed, those of early Quakers.

Download or read book Local Government in England Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Josef Redlich and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Government in England, Vol. 1 of 2 This book is the result of studies, prosecuted for many years, concerning the development of the domestic politics of England during the nineteenth century. What remains to be said of the origin and plan of the book, besides the explanations given in the introductory chapter, is mainly of a personal character. When I came the first time to the shores of England, more than ten years ago, it was as a student of English Law and Constitution entirely imbued with the ideas and judgments which the great German jurist and scholar, Rudolf von Gneist, had expressed in the many legal and political writings of his long career. But soon I discovered that those writings were not only in many ways obsolete, having been long passed by current practice and by modern legislative reforms, but also that the general idea of the modern political history of England, as given by Gneist, stood in inexplicable contradiction to the real development and the true nature of political facts. These first impressions have been strengthened by incessant study in England itself, until out of my doubts of the theories and judgments of Gneist there has resulted a view of modern English politics, independent of, and in essence opposed to, those views of Gneist which have so constantly been accepted as authoritative by continental learning. Here I have not to explain or justify a view which must rather be justified by the book itself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Town Life in the Fifteenth Century, Vol. 1 of 2 Work which the foreign student finds already finished and organized for his use, the English worker has in almost every case to do for himself. Even the briefest sketch of a town history too often implies the long labour of seeking out a mass of scattered and isolated details, which must first be drawn together into some connected sequence before it is possible to study the general bearing and significance of the story in relation to the growth of neighbouring boroughs. Those who have attempted to find their way through the uncertainty and confusion of the materials as they at present exist, will probably be the most lenient judges of inevitable errors of detail such as must creep into the performance of so delicate and difficult a task.
