Britain’s Reform Bill of 1832 expanded voting and workers’ rights, corrected electoral abuses, and abolished slavery in the colonies. In this second of a two-volume 1898 social history, the gauntlet for reform is cast down during the Parliament of 1830, throwing the country into a frenzy of passion that echoed throughout the age of steam, telegraph, and Queen Victoria.
