ABSTRACT
So long as wornen are excluded frorn exercising a direct control, through the elections, over Parliarnent, the advance of their interests will be necessarily very siow. It would be unreasonable to expect Members to trouble their heads much about people who are not likely to trouble them, and about whose opinions they are unable to form ruore than a general surmise. It is true that Mr Bouverie, and others, tell us that the Honourable House has women's interests very much at heart, and that women would decidcdly suffer if they were not so conscientiously looked after as theyare ; and a change für the worse is threatened should they be allowed to elect any representatives. Let us, to find if they are so weIl looked after, examine what the Parliament, which has three times running thrown out the " Disabilities" Bill, has done for women last session, and draw our conclusions. .
