The book provides a comprehensive overview of the functioning of the House of Lords, one of the two chambers of the British Parliament, over a period of fifty years. The book begins by tracing the history of the House of Lords and its role in the British political system. It then goes on to describe the various functions and powers of the House, including its legislative and judicial functions, and its role in the impeachment process. Stead also provides an in-depth analysis of the composition of the House of Lords, including the various peerages and their rights and privileges. He also discusses the political and social influence of the House of Lords, particularly in relation to the House of Commons. Throughout the book, Stead provides numerous examples and anecdotes to illustrate the workings of the House of Lords and its impact on British politics and society. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the British political system and the role of the House of Lords in shaping it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
