A scene in the old Jamaica parliament : how we legislated seventy years old / by Anthony Trollope.

Below title: "The very amusing and interesting picture of a meeting of the old Jamaica House of Assembly or Parliament, published below, will be avidly read even by those who take but little interest in politics to-day. It was written by no less a person than Anthony Trollope, who ranks amongst the greater English novelists of the last century and whose simple, humorous, attractive style makes all that he writes so well worth reading. It has to be admitted, one fears, that the Lords and Commons of our two Houses of Parliament, before their abolition in 1866, did not care twopence for good behaviour."
