It was a time of civil war and economic shift from an agrarian to an industrial society for the 1,390 speakers of state houses of representatives profiled in this unique biographical dictionary. The political climate and characteristics of the politicians as a group are surveyed in introductory material. This is followed by biographical entries which include a list of sources. The cumulated bibliography, arranged by state, is valuable. . . . There is no other such directory. Library Journal On the whole it is a useful compilation, providing a starting point for research into the lives of a cross-section of legislators in this period. . . . A necessary purchase for research libraries; recommended to all academic libraries with strong collections in state history. Choice During the years 1850-1910, the United States evolved from an agrarian to an industrial political economy. By the end of the century, industrialization has shifted the entire political system toward national government power, beginning a trend that continues today. An understanding of the importance of state government and, in particular, of the lower houses of the legislatures at this time is crucial to an understanding of how American politics was transformed in the second half of the nineteenth century. This study compares the speakers of these influential nineteenth-century American political bodies and focuses on the legislative issues of the period. The largest collection of biographical data of its kind to date, the book profiles the 1,390 speakers in the period from 1850 to 1910. The collective career analysis of the individuals covered provides an unprecedented exploration of the socioeconomic issues, the governmental processes, and the political behavior of the times to allow a more thorough understanding of the transition from an agrarian to an industrial state. This comprehensive study of state political power will provide fresh insight into the American legislative system of the latter half of the nineteenth century and will be of special value to scholars of American political history and political science.

What makes for a “good” legislature? In Heavy Lifting, Alan Rosenthal traveled to five states, interviewing and shadowing legislators to find out the answer. Through this engaging narrative, the author first establishes the most important aspects of American state legislatures--what they are and how they do their jobs--and then graduates to the book’s central thesis: Rosenthal argues that, on the whole, the American legislature must be evaluated on the basis of its processes, not its products. He breaks down the legislative process into three principal functions: representing, lawmaking, and balancing the executive, and covers each in turn in the remainder of the book.

Excerpt from The History of Legislative Methods in the Period: Before 1825 It is the purpose of this work to trace the growth of the committee systems in the lawmaking bodies of the colonies and states from about 1750 to 1790, and in the federal House of Representatives from the beginning to 1825. During these years the committee form of organ ization was so firmly established that it has become the distinguishing feature of the American legislature. In view of this fact it seemed to be worth while to put in accessible form the more important steps in that early development. Matters of procedure are touched upon only in so far as they throw light on the main theme. In the processes of legislation it is difficult to separate completely the operations of the regular committees from the activities of the party caucus, and the following chapters discuss both types of organization, the formal, provided for by the rules, and the informal, supplied by the political party. An attempt is made to Show how the colonial legislatures were directed by party leaders, how the caucus and the executive influenced the work of the federal House, and also how certain arrangements made primarily to facilitate legislation have afiected some of the larger aspects of constitutional history. This study was undertaken 'at the suggestion of Professor Allen Johnson, of Yale University, and the material in Chapters I to VII, inclusive, with the excep tion of a part of Chapter II, was worked out in the form of a doctoral dissertation under his direction in 1913. The writer is very glad to acknowledge his indebtedness to him for helpful advice and criticism at that time. Those chapters have subsequently been largely rewritten.
