The Annual Register, Svazek 153Edmund Burke Rivingtons, 1912 Continuation of the reference work that originated with Robert Dodsley, written and published each year, which records and analyzes the year’s major events, developments and trends in Great Britain and throughout the world. From the 1920s volumes of The Annual Register took the essential shape in which they have continued ever since, opening with the history of Britain, then a section on foreign history covering each country or region in turn. Following these are the chronicle of events, brief retrospectives on the year’s cultural and economic developments, a short selection of documents, and obituaries of eminent persons who died in the year. |

Strana 33 - If any Public Bill (other than a Money Bill or a Bill containing any provision to extend the maximum duration of Parliament beyond five years) is passed by the House of Commons in three successive sessions (whether of the same Parliament or not...
Strana 175 - When the Parliament Bill in the form which it has now assumed returns to the House of Commons we shall be compelled to ask that House to disagree with the Lords' amendments. In the circumstances, should the necessity arise, the Government will advise the King to exercise his prerogative to secure the passing into law of the Bill in substantially the same form in which it left the House of Commons, and his Majesty has been pleased to signify that he will consider it his duty to accept and act on that...
Strana 188 - Balfour then moved that the advice given to His Majesty by his Ministers, whereby a pledge for the creation of Peers was obtained, " is a gross violation of Constitutional liberty, whereby, among many other evil consequences, the people will be precluded from again pronouncing on the policy of Home Rule.

Strana 111 - Lords in the third session and agreed to by the House of Commons shall be inserted in the Bill as presented for Royal Assent in pursuance of this section: Provided that the House of Commons may if they think fit, on the...
Strana 270 - Earl of Chesterfield and Another, it had decided by four to three that the fishery rights on the Wye belonged to the riparian owners exclusively, as against certain freeholders of the Manor of Wormelow whose ancestors had enjoyed them at least as far back as 1292. Lord Eversley on November 29 pointed out to the House that under these two decisions the public had no right at any time to fish in the lakes and rivers of the United Kingdom ; and he was invited by the Lord Chancellor to submit proposals...
Strana 190 - His Majesty's Ministers cannot, however, take the responsibility of advising a dissolution, unless they may understand that, in the event of the policy of the Government being approved by an adequate majority in the new House of Commons, His Majesty will be ready to exercise his constitutional powers (which may involve the prerogative of creating peers), if needed, to secure that effect should be given to the decision of the country.
Strana 28 - Our representative system had its drawbacks and imperfections, but it was the most perfect means yet devised for ascertaining and giving effect to the will of the people, and the Bill was presented as the first and most urgent step to a more perfect attainment of that end. Mr. Balfour, who was loudly cheered by his supporters, began by dwelling on the varied interpretations of the verdict of a general election. How could the same vote by the same man for a candidate be at once a decision about Tariff...
Strana 410 - Rather that my highest hopes have been realised, ... all classes, races, and creeds have united in receiving us with unmistakable signs of enthusiasm and affection. The magnificent display at the Durbar was the outcome of wise and well-considered plans, brilliantly carried out through the untiring efforts of the Viceroy and those who worked under him. . . . Our satisfaction will be still greater if time proves that our visit has conduced to the lasting good of India and of the Empire at large.
