Over 2.260 biographical articles and 218 constituency articles are included in this three volume set of the History of Parliament in the first half of the sixteenth century. Among the biographies are those of Sir Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell; and despite the difficulty of obtaining information about these early parliaments - the official returns for many of the early parliaments or Henry VIII are lost and such names as can be found have often had to be reconstructed from civil, municipal and parish records - many of the lesser figures are also included. They were published without the normal introductory survey following the death of the editor of the volumes, S. T. Bindoff.

Here is the period from the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 to the Revolution of 1688 and the Convention Parliament which followed it. These three volumes cover the period of constitutional reconstruction after the Interregnum and the political crises of the 1670s and early 1680s. The three volumes contain 2,040 biographical articles and 269 constituency articles. An Introductory Essay by Basil Duke Henning analyses information about the age, education, social background of the Members and their residential and electoral relationship with their constituencies. Questions concerning how far non-political factors influenced a Member's party political alignment are also examined.

Biographies & Memoirs

The subject of the Namier/Brooke volumes concerns a period when politics were dominated in turn by the war with France, the accession of george III, the governance of India and the revolt of the American colonies. The repercussions of those problems upon the House provide the main themes of the Introductory Survey. Largely written by John Brooke, it draws heavily on Namier's views on mid to late eighteenth century politics. The three volumes contain 1,966 biographical articles and 314 constituency articles.

These five volumes cover the period of Britain's long wars with France, and a huge expansion of the business of the House of Commons: Charles Abbot, Speaker from 1802-1817 estimated that the amount of business carried on in the House had quintupled between 1761 and 1813. They include the period of the Union with Ireland and the introduction of 100 Irish MPs. They contain 2,142 biographical articles and 314 constituency articles.
