    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[On Democracy]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Professor John Stuart Blackie opposed the 1867 Reform Bill as he believed it to be &#039;purely democratic&#039; and wished to see changes in the methods of representation of the people. A course of action (eg elections), should not be determined by the vote of the mindless majority. Blackie would have liked the 1867 Reform Bill to contain proposals for an adequate representation for the working classes; a special representation for the &#039;civic, moral and intellectual aristocracy of the people&#039;, and more than one method of electing representatives.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[This essay on the condition of farm servants in the mid nineteenth century has been written from a farmer&#039;s point of view. The farmer sees the servants as &#039;mere living agricultural machines&#039; and feels that they would benefit from moral and spiritual education. The essay provides the reader with a good idea of the appalling conditions and total lack of rights that farm servants suffered from at this time. This was one class that Reform did not help.]]></dcterms:description>
