D. C. SOMERVELL - British Politics Since 1900

London England, Andrew Dakers, 1953. Revised Edition, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Hardback I have writen a history of party politics, of the rising and falling of governments and the ups and downs of party political opinion in the country, usng only such part of general history as were necessary for the elucidation of my theme. Hence many matters of importance which could not reasonably be omitted from a general history either find no place in my narrative or appear only as ancillary to some other matter, or less general importance perhaps but more germane to my subject. One more point - a very small one. I have decided to omit all 'Misters'. The other possibilities were to give everyone a 'Mister' however far into the past they may have receded or to discriminate between the living and the dead, but such collocations as 'Baldwin' and Mr. Churchill' seem absurd. So I have written 'Churchil' and 'Atlee' as I would write 'Pitt' and 'Fox'. Very slight foxing to end pages. Previous owners initials to inside cover.
