4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. He declares his belief that he will 'act well in accordance with what I stated on the nomination day in 1857, by pursuing the course followed by me since I have been in parliament, & abstaining from voting either way on the ballot'. The subject is one concerning which he feels 'great difficulty': 'I fully appreciate the evils of intimidation & bribery which the ballot is intended to cure, although I hope that they are gradually diminishing & will be still further diminished when we have fewer small constituencies'. He greatly doubts whether secret voting as it is called would have all the effects attributed to it, & whether it would not produce serious evils of another kind.' He commented on the relative successes of the method in France, the United States and Canada'. As he has a 'serious doubt' regarding tne question, it is 'advisable to abstain from voting upon it', but this is not to say that it is right for a member of parliament 'to avoid all difficult subjects by this course. I certainly have not done so myself, [.] this is the only matter on which I hbave not voted at all'. He is sorry to 'go against the opinions' of any of his constituents, and knows that he has 'annoyed some of them by my votes in the church rate question, but there my mind was made up. I could have no hesitation.' Note: Secret ballot introduced in 1872.

15 pp, narrow folio (14.5 x 38 cm), in the remains of a volume which has been reused and cut up (see below). Although aged and dogeared, the eight pages carrying the accounts are in reasonable condition, with all texts clear and complete, although the last leaf of the eight has the lower third cut away.

Substantial sums are spent, with a couple of accounts totaling around £40, and one containing about fifty items. A great number of other pages of the volume have been cut out, and the eight surviving leaves of accounts are followed by one complete leaf and three parts of leaves, on which the semi-literate family of John Smith, whose signature is on the back cover, has recorded births and other family events between 1772 and 1821.
