Most people have seen the average English Chairman, as soon as a difficulty arises a little out of the beaten track, struggling in vain to keep the meeting straight, and not only becoming hot and angry himself, but probably causing like heat and anger all round him. Mr. Palgrave has tried to make the ways of public meetings easy to such persons, and the burden of chairmanship light. His position in the House of Commons gives him authority, and he has received suggestions and aid from members of that House possessing large experience in Parliamentary and local administration. The result is a most useful and timely Handbook, setting forth the rules which govern public meetings, and explaining and illustrating them so that they may be understood and applied by any man of average capacity. question which may reasonably be expected to arise from the mode of electing a chairman, down to the happy time at which the business is settled and the meeting adjourned, is left without a simple solution. LONDON: KNIGHT & CO., 90 FLEET STREET. No Local Government Board, Containing the whole of the Orders now in force issued by the Poor Law Commissioners, the Poor Law Board, and the Local Government Board. The Circulars and other Explanatory Documents ISSUED IN RELATION TO THE ORDERS, NOTES OF REFERENCE, AND INDEX PRECEDED BY A TABULAR STATEMENT SHOWING THE ORDERS IN FORCE IN EACH UNION AND PARISH. This volume, which has been prepared by Permission, is intended to meet the demand for some means of ready reference to the Orders of the Local Government Board. Six years have elapsed since that Board was constituted, and as its functions are not confined to Poor Law administration, but extend also to the laws relating to Publie Health, Vaccination, and Education, its action has acquired a special importance.
