Modern England Before the Reform Bill, Volume 2 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library): From the Reform Bill to the Present Time

Britain’s Reform Bill of 1832 expanded voting and workers’ rights, corrected electoral abuses, and abolished slavery in the colonies. In this second of a two-volume 1898 social history, the gauntlet for reform is cast down during the Parliament of 1830, throwing the country into a frenzy of passion that echoed throughout the age of steam, telegraph, and Queen Victoria.
