Preface.

It has been thought desirable to add to this reprint of Mr. Mill's Speech several Reports, Statements of Proceedings of Associated Bodies, Discussions, and Publications in other countries of Europe, and in the United States and Australia, on the subject of Personal Representation, with the view of collecting in a small compass, for easy reference, some of the notices of the system, which show the attention which it has received and the adherence it has gained in countries possessing Representative Government.
