Due volumi in 4° grande, legati in piena pelle, titolo inciso ai piatti ed al tassello ai dorsi, sguardie figurate, bianca con dedica autografa dell'autore al Dr. M.G.T., frontespizi, introduzioni, 660, 743 pp., indici, colophon e bianche finali, numerose vignette ed illustrazioni fotografiche a piena pagina. Dall'introduzione: "Il primo volume di quest'opera si apre con un saggio critico sulla crisi del Parlamento italiano, la cui parte introduttiva documenta la unanimità delle critiche da parte dei gruppi politici, dopo un abbastanza largo compendio di storia parlamentare in un secolo (1848 - 1948), il volume si chiude con la esposizione critica delle vicende della Camera italiana durante le quattro legislature della Repubblica; il secondo volume offre tutta una serie di documentazioni inedite, dati per la prima volta raccolti, di curiosità utili al conseguimento di un valido quadro, intorno all'attività e al funzionamento della Camera italiana dal 1948 al 1968. ... La crisi, funzionale, strutturale, pianta purtroppo le sue radici nel costume stesso della Nazione e innalza i suoi fastigi fino ai vertici dello Stato. ..." Ben più che interessante, in ottimo stato, con un significativo corredo iconografico, impreziosita dalla dedica autografa di Giorgio Almirante.

6 leaves, folio, BLACK-LETTER, with fine woodblock arms of William III on upper cover; disbound, sewed as issued, a remarkably crisp, clean copy ideal for framing and display. The Act deals in detail with the provisions to be made for 'such registered Mariners or Seamen, Watermen, Fishermen, Lightermen, Bargemen, Keelmen or Sefaring Men'. Towards the end of the Act, particular provision is made for the Cinque Ports 'Whereas in the whole Jurisdiction of the Cinque-Ports, and their Towns and Members on the Coasts of Kent and Sussex, there are not any Justices of the Peace nor Divisions...Such Certificate as aforesaid shall be sufficient, where no Justice of the Peace shall be residing or inhabiting within Three Miles of such Port or Town'. The nature and condition of this Act makes it very suitable for framing and display. VERY SCARCE.
