that of the Duke of Wellington. Each entry includes narrative, illustrations, primary
sources and bibliography. The text within each entry is hyper-linked to other relevant
pages in the encyclopaedia. In this way it is possible to research individual people and
events in great detail. The sources are also hyper-linked so the student is able to find
out about the writer, artist, newspaper, organisation, etc., that produced the
material."--Supplied by publisher. The site includes sections such as: Prime
Ministers; Members of Parliament; the Monarchy; Parliamentary Reform; the Peterloo
Massacre; the Chartist Movement; Journalists and Newspapers; Artists & Architects;
