Excerpt from The Municipal Manual: A Description of the Constitution and Functions of Urban Local AuthoritiesThe student of public affairs who aspires to a professional appointment or an elective office in the municipal service, naturally seeks a popular manual which will give him an introduction to the scheme and work of English local government. To his surprise, he finds that no such handbook exists. There is a plenitude of legal text books and treatises, appalling in their size and measure less in their profundity, but these appear rather as fortresses guarding the path of inquiry from attack than as the gateways to knowledge. This little book is therefore issued in the hope that it will be useful to all those who desire to make an acquaintance with the subjects which, in practice, call for the attention of members of local authorities, municipal officers, and others engaged in the public work of our towns.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
