| Summary | "Commercial Politics (1837-1856)" by R. H. Gretton is a historical account written in the early 20th century that explores the political and economic landscape of England during the mid-19th century. The book serves as a sourcebook intended for educational purposes, compiling documents, letters, and historical extracts that reflect the societal issues of the time, including social reform, colonial governance, and the impacts of industry and trade. At the start of the work, the introduction emphasizes the book's aim to provide a range of historical documents that can be engaged with in various educational contexts, benefiting students from secondary school to university level. The opening portion features extracts reflecting on significant events, such as the accession of Queen Victoria and the political dynamics of Canada during this period, capturing the tension between colonial administration and local governance. The content sets a vivid stage for understanding the complexities of the era, particularly regarding the interplay of class struggles, political reforms, and national identity.
