Europe -- Politics and government; Political science
[Footnote 122: On the reforms of the period
1832-1885 see Cambridge Modern History, X., Chap.
18, and XI., Chap. 12; Dickinson, Development of
Parliament, Chap. 2; Rose, Rise and Growth of
Democracy, Chaps. 2, 10-13; Marriott, English
Political Institutions, Chap. 10. An excellent
survey is May and Holland, Constitutional History
of England, I., Chap. 6, and III., Chap. 1. Mention
may be made of H. Cox, A History of the Reform
Bills of 1866 and 1867 (London, 1868); J. S. Mill,
Considerations on Representative Government
(London, 1861); and T. Hare, The Election of
Representatives, Parliamentary and Municipal (3d
ed., London, 1865). An excellent survey by a Swiss
scholar is contained in C. Borgeaud, The Rise of
Modern Democracy in Old and New England, trans. by
B. Hill (London, 1894), and a useful volume is J.
Murdock, A History of Constitutional Reform in
Great Britain and Ireland (Glasgow, 1885). The
various phases of the subject are covered, of
course, in the general histories of the period,
notably S. Walpole, History of England from the
Conclusion of the Great War in 1815, 6 vols. (new
ed., London, 1902); W. N. Molesworth, History of
England from the year 1830-1874, 3 vols. (London,
1874); J. F. Bright, History of England, 5 vols.
(London, 1875-1894); H. Paul, History of Modern
England, 5 vols. (London, 1904-1906); and S. Low
and L. C. Sanders, History of England during the
Reign of Victoria (London, 1907). Three
biographical works are of special service: S.
Walpole, Life of Lord John Russell, 2 vols.
(London, 1889); J. Morley, Life of William E.
Gladstone, 3 vols. (London, 1903); and W. F.
Monypenny, Life of Benjamin Disraeli, Earl of
Beaconsfield, vols. 1-2 (London and New York,
1910-1912).]
