About the journal
Aims and Scope
Parliamentary History provides a forum for current research and general interest articles covering the history of parliamentary institutions in the British Isles (including the Scottish and Irish Parliaments) from the Middle Ages to the Twentieth Century. The journal also encompasses legislatures of British colonies before independence, their origin, development and historical importance.
The Parliamentary History: Texts & Studies series draws upon the interests and research of recent and established scholars to explore the parliamentary histories of England, Scotland and Ireland, broadly defined, and the changing nature of British political culture. The series seeks to make parliamentary history more accessible to a wider, international audience and will publish significant monographs on political/parliamentary subjects, as well as carefully edited and fully noted volumes of primary-source documents.

Instructions to Authors
Note for Contributors: Articles, Reviews and Texts and Studies Series
We hope that the following notes will assist in the preparation of your work. We would be grateful if you would adhere to the conventions outlined below.
Submission
Manuscripts limited in length to 10,000 words should be submitted on two PC-compatible disks or CDs and accompanied by a print-out: details should be given of the word-processing software used. The printed version should be double-spaced, on A4 paper (or the US equivalent), with generous margins on both left and right. Line justification and word breaks should not be used. Notes should be created as endnotes and double-spaced. Articles should be preceded by an abstract of up to 250 words. At the end please supply up to ten key words for electronic searching.
The word limit includes abstracts, notes and references.
1. TEXT
Quotations: Follow the punctuation, capitalisation and spelling of the original. For short quotations use single quotation marks, and do not separate from the main text. Long quotations of 50 words or more are to be double-spaced without quotation marks, and are to be indented from the margin as a separate block of text. For quotations within quotations use double quotation marks.
Spelling: As a general rule please follow the Oxford English Dictionary (the first relevant entry if there is a choice of spellings). Hence please follow English (as opposed to American) conventions. Please note the following preferences: acknowledgment, appendices, biased, connection, co-operate, despatch, elite [no accent; not italicised], focused, indices, inquiry, judgment, medieval, nonetheless, p.a. [not per annum], per cent, regime [no accent], role [no accent]. In words with alternative endings -ise or -ize, the former is preferred (except for civilize, colonize, criticize, emphasize, generalize, realize, recognize, summarize).
Capitals: Minimal use of capitals is preferred in the text. The following notes should provide some guidance:
- Use lower case for titular offices: the archbishop of Canterbury, bishop of Durham, chancellor, duke of York, earl of Arundel, king, lord mayor, pope, prime minister.
- Use upper case if ambiguities are likely to arise (e.g. the Speaker), and when titles immediately preface names (Pope John, Bishop Lacy, King George, Duke Edmund, Earl Cowper, Viscount Beaumont, Cardinal Beaufort, Archbishop Stafford, John, Lord Tiptoft).
- Use lower case for institutions, government departments, etc.: the cabinet, chancery, privy council, convocation, royal commission, court of common pleas, crown, exchequer, king's bench, government, household, houses of parliament, opposition, select committee on education, star chamber, treasury; but use upper case to avoid ambiguities or where convention insists: the Lords, the Commons, the Inner Temple, the Church, the Union, the Bank (of England), the City (of London).
- Note member of parliament, but MP; houses of parliament, but the House.
- Use lower case for political parties except to avoid ambiguity, so whig, tory, but the Conservative government, the Liberal Party, the Labour opposition.
- Historical systems, periods, events and religions should be in lower case where possible: the French revolution, the congress of Vienna, the British empire, home rule, the commonwealth, the middle ages, anglicans, baptists, catholics, christians, dissenters, high churchmen, methodists, muslims, protestants, puritans, weslyans. But use upper case if otherwise ambiguous or where convention insists, as in the Enlightenment, the Civil War, the First World War, the Seven Years War.
- Official publications should be in lower case (e.g. report of the select committee on education), except in footnotes when the first word should be capitalized and the whole italicised. 'A bill' and 'an act' but 'the Bill' and 'the Act' when specific (e.g. the Occasional Conformity Bill).
- Named parliaments should be in upper case (e.g. the Merciless Parliament).
Dates: Use '21 October 1805' in the main text; '21 Oct. 1805' in notes; c.1410; 1516-17; 1623-4 (following the rule for numbers in series, given below); the 1730s, fifties (for decades); the 18th century (noun), an 18th-century bishop (adjectival), the mid 19th century. [N.B. superscript is not to be used]
Numbers: Spell out numbers from one to ten, but use figures for 11 or more:
nine; 33; 413; 5,000; 43,222. Exceptions: use figures before abbreviated units of measurement (5lb, 10ft), and before percentages (7%); and a number beginning a sentence should be spelled out in full. For numbers in series use maximum elision except for the teens: 18-19, 212-13, but 20-2,
63-4, 223-5. Please use 'en' dashes rather than hyphens for ranges of numbers in text and footnotes.
Money: Express English money with the ciphers ?s. d.: e.g. ?0 13s. 4d.; ? 15s. 0?/SPAN>d. Note the italicisation of s. and d.
Italics: Words in foreign languages (French, Latin etc.) should be italicised as a general rule, with certain exceptions where the word is in common use, e.g. elite, via. It would be helpful if unusual or non-standard characters (e.g. accents, Greek characters) could be highlighted at first occurrence on the print-out.
2. ENDNOTES
