This book gives access to a wealth of manuscript material kept in the UK and abroad - some of it in little-known or previously unrecorded collections. The papers of 705 men and women who were active in British political life between 1782 and 1900 are described, complementing the first volume in the series, which covered Cabinet Ministers. A wide range of parliamentary and extra-parliamentary politicians are included here, from prominent office-holders to party managers and leaders of radical movements.
