Canvassing Book, Caernarfon Boroughs Election, 1841 [front cover, image 1 of 9]

Description

This is a 'Canvass Book' for the town of Caernarfon in the Caernarfon Boroughs Election of 1841 when William Bulkeley Hughes defeated Captain Charles Paget by 405 votes to 385. The canvasser was clearly campaigning on behalf of Bulkeley Hughes and some of his remarks - made after the polling - are interesting and, at times, piquant.
