The conduct of parliamentary elections in England

Luo, Longji, 1896-1965

This monograph is the result of the extension of a Master's thesis which was submitted to the Department of Political Science of the University of Wisconsin in 1925.

The present work is divided into three parts. The first four chapters which deal the legal procedure of Parliamentary elections in England embody the corresponding part of the original essay with some changes. The next four chapters which describe the working of the electoral system are entirely new additions and they were written after the author had spent one year in England in personal investigations.

The last three chapters which treat the corrupt and illegal practices and the election petitions are the result of reconstruction from that part of the old dissertation which covers the same ground.
