The Popular Guide To The New House Of Commons And Record Of The Election Of 1892 July 1 To July 29

This is the first biography of Lord Headley, who made international headlines in 1913 when he defied convention by publicly converting to Islam. Drawing on previously unpublished archival sources, this book focuses on Headley's religious beliefs, conversion to Islam, and work as a Muslim leader during and after the First World War. Lord Headley slipped into obscurity following his death in 1935, but there is growing recognition globally that he is a pivotal figure in the history of Western Islam and Muslim-Christian relations; this book evaluates the strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures of the man and his work, and considers his significance for contemporary understandings of Islam in the Global West.

Complete election statistics for 1892, 1896 and 1900 After each general election The Times publishes its guide to the new House of Commons. The series started in 1880 and, with a few gaps, has continued to the present day. There is a thriving second-band market in these books but the pre-1945 Times Guides are virtually impossible to find. Politico's is publishing these guides in a five volume series, each containing facsimile copies of three issues. The guides contain full election results and biographical details of the winning and losing candidates in each constituency. Together they will provide a complete record of British electoral politics from Victorian times until the end of the Second World War. These books will be a vital resource to anybody interested in political or local history. This third volume, to be published in July 2004, contains details of the 1892, 1896 and 1900 elections. Further volumes will be published at six-monthly intervals.
