Description
This is a short biography of Thomas Burt, the first working man to be an MP. It was written and sold for a popular readership. Burt was first elected in 1874, for the Morpeth (Northumberland) constituency as a result, first, of the widening of the franchise under the second Reform Act, and second, of a legal ruling giving the vote to miners in tied houses. He was notable for his wisdom, fairness and liberal sympathies. There is a bust of him in Morpeth Town Hall.
