Excerpt from Second Chambers: An Inductive Study in Political Science
There is reason to apprehend that this work may be regarded merely as a time dc circonstance. That the moment of its appearance gives to it something of that character it would be affecta tion to deny; but, as a fact, it is a fragment of a larger work to which much of my leisure has for some years been devoted. This work may, I trust, be completed within a reasonable time, but meanwhile it seems not inopportune to offer to the public an instalment which may, it is hoped, contribute towards the solution of a problem of immediate importance.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a deep dive into the history of the House of Lords, the unelected upper chamber of the British Parliament and one of the most enduring features of the British political system. The author traces the House's origins back to the medieval period, discusses its changing composition and powers over time, and analyses its role in the British constitution. The book also examines the debates surrounding reform of the House of Lords, which has been a contentious issue for centuries. Ultimately, the author argues that the House of Lords remains a valuable part of the British political system, providing a check on the power of the House of Commons and safeguarding the rights of minorities.
