John Cartwright
This is a biography of Major John Cartwright (1740-1824), the English advocate of radical reform who had considerable influence in shaping the mainstream of reform in England in the nineteenth century, and whose ideas lay behind the working-class Chartist Movement. Known as the 'Father of Reform', Cartwright was the first person of importance to hold a literal belief in universal male suffrage and was venerated by generations of reformers.

He shows how Cartwright, as a member of the English landed gentry, tried to understand conditions which were changing at an unprecedented rate and still retained a high degree of traditionalism and conservatism.

Successful in this venture - placed first in order of merit by Gray's Inn at the Bar exami...

Excerpt from A Letter Addressed to John Cartwright, Esq.: Chairman of the Committee at the Crown and Anchor; On the Subject of Parliamentary Reform Liaments shortened, bribery could scarcely be applied with effect; - that the influence of corruption being thus removed, the real friends of the country would obtain the preference naturally due to worth and talents; and that, the House of Commons being so composed, every abuse would spee dily be checked or thoroughly reformed. Such, Sir, were the views upon which I was led to approve the proposal of a great and radical change in the constitution of the House of Commons. I believe, that through a similar train of reasoning, my father and brothe...
