Excerpt from Minorities and Majorities; Their Relative Rights: A Letter to the Lord John Russell, M. P. On Parliamentary Reform

My Lord,

The decisive pledges given, first by yourself, and afterwards repeated by the Government of which you now form a part, of an intention to initiate without delay, a new measure of Parliamentary Reform, lead me to hope that you may not be unwilling to receive and consider any practical suggestions bearing on that important subject, which an earnest Reformer like myself may have to offer.

I wish chiefly to direct your attention to what appears to me to be an important defect in the mechanism of our Representative system as it now exists, and which, though it has not entirely escaped the attention of some writers, and of some statesmen whose opinions are entitled to great weight, has never yet, I think, been adequately investigated, or brought into public discussion.
