About this book
Social Transformations of the Victorian Age presents a survey of court and country, including economic changes and arrangements for listening to speeches. The economic discussion links growing trade and commerce with the multiplication of English millionaires, while describing prosperity as fitful and budgets as persistently bad. The account of gold discoveries in California says the new treasures were distributed among the entire population rather than confined to a small band of rulers.
The parliamentary discussion describes a building used by the Commons where no provision was made for ladies. The account records a committee's suggestion of accommodation and an order for a place where ladies could hear speeches with greater comfort and dignity.
