HISTORY OF THE CHARTIST MOVEMENT 1837-1854
by R.G. Gammage

A chronological history of the movement that campaigned for democracy and the right to vote in Britain in the early Victorian era. Gammage wrote from direct experience and involvement in the movement: "this work will be principally a record of, rather than a commentary on events, and the men engaged in them, yet we shall from time to time make any observations which may appear to be necessary, for the historian should be not a mere recorder of the actions of men, but should also search into, examine, and give his candid opinion as to the springs of those actions and of the manner in which they were performed. "An essential document for the study of the Chartist Movement"- Times Literary Supplement .
