Author Description

Excerpt from Electoral Reform: An Inquiry Into Our System of Parliamentary Representation <p>I 13331113 to acknowledge my debt to friends who have aided me in compiling the material, and coming to the conclusions, of this book. Especially I must thank Mr. J. C. Haig for helping me in the parts where Colonial experience and examples are cited, Mr. J. H. Humphreys, Secretary of the Proportional Representation Society, for much valuable assistance, and Mr. Frank R. Massey. <p>Some errors of fact may be found. As in our Colonies and elsewhere proposals were being discussed in various legislative assemblies when these pages were being sent to press, some facts may be out of date even before the book is published. I believe that any such failings will neither invalidate the arguments nor impair the con elusions which are here advanced. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
