''Twenty Years In Parliament'' is a memoir written by William McCullagh Torrens, a British politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) for two decades from 1852 to 1872. The book provides a firsthand account of Torrens’ experiences in the British Parliament during a period of significant political and social change in the country. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of Torrens’ life and work in Parliament. He discusses his early years as a young MP, his relationships with other politicians, and his involvement in debates and legislation on a wide range of issues, including education, finance, and foreign policy. Torrens also provides insight into the inner workings of Parliament, including the role of party politics and the challenges of navigating the parliamentary system. He reflects on the successes and failures of his own political career and offers his opinions on the state of British politics at the time. Overall, ''Twenty Years In Parliament'' is a valuable historical document that provides a unique perspective on the workings of British democracy in the mid-19th century. It is a fascinating read for anyone interested in political history, the British Parliament, or the social and economic changes that took place during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
