The Evolution of Parliament is a historical book written by Albert Frederick Pollard in 1920. The book provides a comprehensive account of the development of the British Parliament from its earliest origins to the present day. It covers the evolution of parliamentary institutions, the growth of parliamentary power, and the changing role of parliament in British politics. Pollard's book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of parliamentary history. He begins by discussing the origins of parliament in Anglo-Saxon England and traces its development through the medieval period and into the early modern era. He then examines the growth of parliamentary power during the 17th and 18th centuries, including the Glorious Revolution, the Act of Union, and the emergence of political parties. Other topics covered in the book include the role of parliament in the abolition of slavery, the extension of the franchise, and the development of the welfare state. Pollard also provides a detailed analysis of the workings of parliament in the 19th and early 20th centuries, including the rise of the House of Commons and the role of the Speaker. Overall, The Evolution of Parliament is an important historical work that provides a detailed and insightful account of the development of one of the world's most important democratic institutions. It is a must-read for anyone interested in British history, politics, or the evolution of parliamentary democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
