Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

A History of British Elections since 1689 represents a unique
single-volume authoritative reference guide to British elections
and electoral systems from the Glorious Revolution to the present
day. The main focus is on general elections and associated
by-elections, but Chris Cook and John Stevenson also cover national
referenda, European parliament elections, municipal elections, and
elections to the Welsh and Northern Irish assemblies and the
Scottish parliament. The outcome and political significance of all
these elections are looked at in detail, but the authors also
discuss broader themes and debates in British electoral history,
for example: the evolution of the electoral system, parliamentary
reform, women's suffrage, constituency size and numbers,
elimination of corrupt practices, and other important topics. The
book also follows the fortunes not only of the major political
parties but of fringe movements of the extreme right and left.
Combining data, summary and analysis with thematic overviews and
chronological outlines, this major new reference provides a
definitive guide to the long and varied history of British
elections and is essential reading for students of British
political history.
John Stevenson has revised and expanded his standard but
long-unobtainable work on Popular Protest and Public Order
1700-1870 in two self-sufficient volumes. The first (1700-1832)
appeared in 1992; this is its keenly-awaited sequel. The greater
part of it is entirely new, and brings the analysis of popular
disturbance -- and its political and economic roots -- through to
modern times. Tracing the theme through from the Chartists of the
late 1830s to the British Union of Fascists in the late 1930s, it
highlights both the changing agendas and the unchanging tensions
that underlie social disorder.
