1871réf. 161381871. Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life Report from the Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life 1871 documents the parliamentary investigation of infant welfare paid infant care mortality and state regulation in Victorian Britain. The report documents the emerging system of infant life protection through committee proceedings witness testimony appendices and an index revealing how legislators gathered medical legal and social evidence to define infant neglect as a matter requiring public oversight. Produced one year before the Infant Life Protection Act of 1872 the volume provides primary-source evidence for the study of child welfare law women's labor and caregiving economies public health regulation infant mortality and the legal history of "baby farming" a term used in nineteenth-century debates over paid care for infants. The 1872 legislation has been identified by historians as Britain's first infant life protection legislation making this parliamentary report important to the documentary record behind early state intervention in private infant care. Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life. Report from the Select Committee on Protection of Infant Life together with the Proceedings of the Committee Minutes of Evidence Appendix and Index. London: Ordered by the House of Commons to be Printed 20 July 1871. First edition. 328 pp. Rebound in modern cloth. The report includes the committee's formal proceedings minutes of evidence appendix and index giving the volume a structured evidentiary record rather than a general policy summary. Its contents outline testimony and documentary material on infant care outside the immediate family social conditions affecting infant survival legal deficiencies and the need for enforceable protections. As a government publication it shows the mechanisms of parliamentary fact-finding in practice: evidence was collected organized indexed and converted into a legislative record that helped frame infant protection as a matter of law public health and social administration. The report belongs to the broader nineteenth-century movement toward state scrutiny of child welfare women's caregiving labor and domestic arrangements previously treated as private matters. Its timing matters because it precedes the 1872 Act and captures the evidentiary process by which infant mortality and paid infant nursing entered the legislative sphere. First few pages including title page with small loss at right page edge not affecting legibility; handwritten page numbers in upper right corners throughout; pages bright and clean; overall good. A substantial parliamentary source for research into Victorian child welfare infant mortality gendered labor public health law and the development of modern protective regulation. unknown

1852Due volumi in folio imperiale legati in mezza pelle, titolo ai dorsi decorati in oro, sguardie, frontespizio al primo volume, pagine da 1 a 706 e da 1441 a 2134. Trattasi dei resoconti ufficiali della Camera dei Deputati in seduta con la trascrizione esatta dei diversi interventi. Uno spaccato assolutamente inconsueto sulla politica e sulla vita stessa dello Stato. Da segnalare le infinite notizie riguardanti l'economia, il gioco politico, la guerra, i trattati interstatali e quant'altro si vuol sottolineare, con il resoconto degli interventi di coloro che (Da Cavour a Minghetti a Boncompagni) ebbero la ventura d'assistere alla nascita della Nazione italiana. Inutile discettare sull'importanza e sulla scarsa reperibilità di tanto documento, resta da dire solo che la conservazione è ottima.
1918réf. 165701918. Representation of the People Act 1918 1918 documents the statutory transformation of British electoral democracy at the close of the First World War granting parliamentary voting rights to women over thirty who met property qualifications while extending the franchise to men over twenty-one. The Act records the legal mechanism by which decades of women's suffrage agitation entered parliamentary law revealing how electoral reform operated through age sex residence and property qualifications and providing primary-source evidence for the study of women's political rights wartime citizenship and the expansion of representative government in Britain. Representation of the People Act 1918. 8 Geo. 5. Ch. 64. London: Printed by Percy Lund Humphries & Co. Ltd. for Norman Gibb Scorgie C.V.O. C.B.E. Controller of His Majesty's Stationery Office and King's Printer of Acts of Parliament 1918. First edition. 161 pages. Original paper wrappers. 9.5 x 6 inches. The printed Act sets out the revised parliamentary franchise registration procedures voting rules redistribution provisions and related administrative structures that governed the enlarged electorate. Its significance lies not only in the admission of approximately 8.5 million women to the electorate but also in the unequal structure of that admission: women's voting rights remained restricted by age and qualification while men received a broader franchise. Passed after a long suffrage campaign that included constitutional lobbying mass organizing civil disobedience imprisonment and militant protest the Act marked a decisive but incomplete victory for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. Original wrappers with expected minor handling wear; internally sound very good. A major parliamentary document for the study of women's suffrage postwar citizenship and the legal architecture of modern British electoral reform. unknown
