Lectures on the Principles of Local Government is a book written by George Laurence Gomme and published in 1897. The book is a collection of lectures that Gomme delivered at the London School of Economics during the Lent term of the same year. The lectures cover various aspects of local government, including its history, organization, and functions. Gomme discusses the different types of local government, such as county councils, urban districts, and rural parishes, and their respective roles in governing local communities. He also explores the relationship between local and national government, and the challenges faced by local authorities in carrying out their duties. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the principles of local government and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of local governance in the UK.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
