- The book, like most of Bennett's other works, is no longer in print.
- This was the last instance that Bennett's work was published by Nicholson & Watson. Most of her other works were published by Eyre and Spottiswoode.
gollark: My view is generally that the government should avoid doing too much and have law-writing and stuff handled such that it can't start jumping far ahead of popular opinion.
gollark: I feel like you should need greater-than-majority support to change meta-laws governing parliament.
gollark: Same with the US.
gollark: I mean, it could if people supported it, but it's politically impractical.
gollark: The UK has no constitution and *also* basically cannot change how voting works.
