Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of English Local Government Bishop of Oxford, and to him I tender (if he is not by this time weary of thanks) my best acknowledgments for this and much other help derived from his writings. To Mr William Rathbone, m.p., I am indebted for the valuable loan of current Parliamentary reports. To Professor Maitland, of Cambridge, I owe more than can be won from any books - the inspiring help and the wise counsel which it is the pleasure of great teachers to extend to those privileged to come into personal contact with them. In the hope that it is not altogether unworthy of his teaching, I send this little book into the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Local Government The advantages of this division of the labour of public administration between central and local authorities are obvious. The tasks undertaken by the modern state are so great and various that the attempt to accomplish them all by means of cen tral departments and professional officials alone is doomed inevitably to failure; all experience shows that sooner or later a breakdown is certain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rural Municipalities and the Reform of Local Government: An Outline of a Scheme of Local England and Wales It may be worth while recalling that the aggregate budget of local authorities stands second only to that of the National Government. The returns for the year ending 25th March, 1884, show that the income of the local authorities of England and Wales, for that year, from all sources, was of which the amount levied in rates was and the amount raised by loans 3. The expenditure was and at the end of the year the outstanding loans amounted to These figures alone are sufficient to bring home to us the magnitude of the work of our Local Government. Amongst matters of general public importance which can hardly be considered apart from the question of Local Government, the necessity of a reform of local taxation is generally admitted, and there are now before the country proposals for allotting a part of the national taxes in relief of local expenditure, for reducing the charges on real pro perty and for apportioning the payment of rates between the landlord and tenant of agricultural land, for establishing a system of free elementary education, for establishing free libraries and other similar public institutions, for dealing with the allotment question and for creating a peasant proprietory, for giving to local elective bodies or to a direct popular vote the control of the sale of intoxicating drinks, and many others, none of which can be properly dealt with except in connection with the reform of Local Government.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Local Government of the United Kingdom I AM glad to hear that Mr. Clarke is materially enlarging the Scope of his excellent work Outlines of Local Govern ment, so extremely useful to those engaged in the Local Government Service. With an intimate knowledge of the importance of Local Government work, gained from Close upon forty years' experience, I do not hesitate to say that efficient Local Government Administration is of the highest importance to the well-being of our Empire and that efficiency is largely to be obtained by those engaged in it making themselves thoroughly acquainted with the law which appertains to it. Obviously, it must be to the advantage of students to have ready at hand a work, or text-book, upon which reliance can be placed to enable them to gain with ease the knowledge of which it is so absolutely necessary that they should become possessed, in order to qualify themselves for positions in the Local Government Service, whether connected with a Government Department, or with the Municipalities of the United Kingdom.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Local Government Since the first edition of this book appeared in 1899, several important statutes have been passed which affect Local Government in England and Wales.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Local Government: Statutory Authorities for Special Purposes Much of the work of investigation of these records was done between 1899 and 1908; and we owe thanks, not only to their custodians, by whom we were always courteously received, but also to our helpers in what proved an extensive as well as a protracted task. Among those whose work is embodied in the present volume, we must mention Mr. F. H. Spencer, LL.D., author of Municipal Origins, now in the Ministry of Education; Mrs. Spencer, B.se. (econ); Miss M. Bulkley, and Miss Hadley, archivist to the London County Council.

This book was released on 2016-06-22 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Local Government, From the Revolution to the Municipal Corporations Act: The Parish and the County It may be of interest in this connection to give here a short survey of the materials. The indispensable foundation for any study of local governing bodies is an investiga tion of their own official records. We have found the manuscript minutes of the Parish Vestries and the primitive accounts of the parish officers - sometimes dating back four and even five centuries - a storehouse of facts and figures, and deserving both of more careful preservation and of more extensive publication than they have yet been favoured with. The voluminous Order Books and Sessions Papers of the Courts of Quarter Sessions in the different counties constitute precious materials for the social historian, whilst the scantier records of Petty and Special Sessions, and the manuscript diaries of Justices of the Peace, yield even more intimate knowledge than the formal records of the larger bodies. The Rolls of those Manors which still continued to do Local Government work go far to elucidate the manuscript minutes of the innumerable Courts and assemblies of which the Municipal Corporations of the period were made up. We broke ground that was quite new to us when we explored the proceedings of the Courts of Sewers, the Street Commissioners, the Turnpike Trustees, and the Incorporated Guardians of the Poor. To go through these local archives, all of which were indispensable to our task, has involved many a sojourn in provincial centres from Newcastle to Plymouth, and journeys innumerable into the remotest corners of England and Wales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Local Government: The Story of the King's Highway AT 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!
