Opis

In the mid-19th century, London was the world's largest city, and the first to confront the metropolitan problem of how to provide for its government. This book analyzes the politicians and forces that led to formation of the London County Council, providing a fascinating account of the economic, social, and administrative complexities of a burgeoning Victorian city.

Recenzje

The book is outstanding when dealing with links between national politics and London politics ... This approach will do much to complement previous work and it is to be hoped that a new synthesis will now emerge.
