One topic in this book is a Chapter on Highways. Two of my 5th Great Grandfathers were appointed to serve as 'Surveyors of the Highways' by the Justices of the Peace. I have documents showing Names that were proposed to the Justices of the Peace and other evidence on a List of Names of those who served entitled BROMLEY SURVEYORS OF THE HIGHWAYS 1737-1805. This role of Surveyor is written about in the Chapter on Highways eg. See Page 73 in The Handy Book of Parish Law - the 1859 edition. I would have liked to have found out what this role of Surveyors entailed. It was usual for the Vestry to submit 4 Names to the Justices of the Peace, who chose those who could serve.

Did the radical break with 18 years of Conservative rule reflect a fundamental change in the social and ideological basis of British voting behaviour? Critical Elections brings together leading scholars of parties, elections and voting behaviour to provide the first systematic overview of long-term change in British electoral politics.
