Excerpt from Lectures on the Principles of Local Government: Delivered at the London School of Economics, Lent Term 1897
These being the facts of the case, the only question that remains to justify the classification adopted in the lectures is, whether such conditions as these should properly represent local government from the point of view of first principles, or whether the two types should be reduced to one type; whether, in Short, there can be a dual system, and, if not, whether local government of the historical type Should give way to local government of the legislative type.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces principles to understand how local government functions. It explores the history and evolution of counties, boroughs, and parishes, and the development of quasi-local government entities like poor law unions and urban districts. The author points out how sovereignty has developed, and how local government fits into that. The book charts the gradual accumulation by Parliament of functions previously carried out by local authorities, showing how these functions came to be carried out by newly created authorities, and how, finally, this process of change has been in some measure reversed by recent legislation. The work demonstrates how some localities have been endowed with self-governing authority since before the Norman Conquest, while others were created by legislative acts.
