ABSTRACT
The Birmingham Complete Suffrage Conference, an accurate report of whose discussions is now presented to the public, grew out of a few simple events, apparently trivial at the moment at which they occurred, but which have since turned out to be of considerable importance. A little before the commencement of the present year, some individuals, anxious to ascertain the prospect which might exist of uniting all classes in seeking a remedy for the evils inherent to, and occasioned by, class legislation, had recourse for that purpose to the circulation of the declaration to different philanthropic and liberal minded men, encouraged them in the formation, on the 25th of January, of the provisional committee of the Birmingham Complete Suffrage Association, for promoting, 'by peaceable and Christian means alone, a full, fair, and free representation of the people in the British House of Commons.'.
