Reviews

"In The Principles of Parliamentary Representation (1st ed. 1884, 2nd ed. 1885) Lewis Carroll presents the longest connected chain of reasoning in political science, apart from that given by Thomas Hobbes.... The booklet incorporates something of Carroll's genius."-Duncan Black, Jabberwocky, 1970
