Bibliography This book is based primarily on the Passfield Papers, which is the collection of papers relating to Beatrice and Sidney Webb. They are deposited in the British Library of Political and Economic Science. The Library also holds some of the Shaw papers (the majority of which arc housed in the British Library) as well as the Wallas collection. The Fabian Society papers are to be found at Nuffield College, Oxford; Fabian News and other Fabian publications are in the offices of the Fabian Society.

I have made full use of the relevant Cabinet and Cabinet committee minutes and papers at the PRO. The Ramsay MacDonald papers are also now deposited at the PRO. The Labour Party archives have proved indispensable.

Other papers which have proved to be of interest and which are to be found in the BLPES are: Broadhurst Papers; Lansbury Papers; Pease Collection; Bolton Papers; Beveridge Papers; Barnett House papers; Cole collection; Barrow House papers. The papers relating to the foundation of the London School of Economics are deposited with the LSE.
