Acknowledgements
In the production of this volume, I am indebted to the Lloyd George Archive and particularly to Tony O’Connor for prompting me to take a closer look at the events of the 1922 General Election. I would also like to acknowledge the help and assistance of the staff at the Parliamentary Archives, Churchill College Cambridge, Cambridge University Library, Plymouth University Library, Exeter University Library, the Record Offices at the Isle of Wight Record Office, Bristol Record Office, Kresen Kernow, Devon Record Office, Kent Archive Service, Shropshire Archives, Lancashire Record Office, Liverpool Record Office, Sussex Record Office, London Metropolitan Archives, Dorset History Centre, the Scottish Record Office, the Gloucester Archives, and the Somerset Heritage Centre in supplying materials to contextualise and question the received wisdom from the secondary sources of the 1922 General Election. In reproducing material, despite every effort, it has not been possible to trace and contact every copyright holder, but if they should contact me, I shall see that appropriate acknowledgement is made in any future edition or reprint.
