T. Stead, page 82.
280 THE BKITISH CITY landed gentry as has Great Britain. All this has created a caste system.
In spite of the tremendous growth in the powers of the commercial classes during the last two gen- erations, but little real impression has been made upon the traditions of English life. Far from con- trolling Parliament during the nineteenth century, the financial interests have been identified with the landed gentry, who have been enriched and made more powerful by the infusion of
...wealth which trade and commerce have brought to the country. The House of Commons comes very largely from the land-owning classes and those who reflect its interests. This is especially true when the Con- servative party is in power. A glance at the list of the members of the lower house during the last gov- ernment shows a surprisingly large number of land owners, retired army officials, country gentlemen, barristers, financiers, ship owners, retired gentle- men, and younger sons of the nobility.
