A great insight into the radical issue of chartism
This is a very impressive book to read and study from cover to cover. Brown covers many aspects of the Chartist movement, its history, and related issues. As a second year A-Level student, I found this a very helpful source of background reading- it supported my studies no-end, and would even be suitable as a textbook for history classes. Brown should be commended for an excellent effort, he may be partly responsible for the high grades I will hopefully achieve this summer!

Fantastic
This book is a must read for anyone doing chartism. The author, Richard Brown, is my history teacher at Manshead School, and he must be commended on this excellent book, and no doubt, with the help of this book and the an himself, i will achieve the grades i hope for.
