Description
The digital edition of all books may be viewed on our website before purchase. Records by Sir Harris Nicolas is a gripping critique of the Commission for Public Records set up by the British government. Addressed to the High Chancellor, the author provides a scathing review of the existing system and its many problems. The issues discussed range from the amount of money spent on the Commission to the integrity and professionalism of its members. Sir Nicolas' insight on the remuneration and discrepancies in payments for works printed by the Records Commission is particularly interesting.
Records is unlike most other books as it does not adhere to any format of chapters and sections. It is in the form of a letter written by the author which is perhaps why the critique is highly emotional. The letter is followed by a detailed appendix which constitutes excerpts and references backing up claims made by the author.
While every aspect of the Commission's functioning is contested with hard hitting facts and detailed analysis, the title is rich in its unintended recapitulation of the Records Commission's setup, duties and outcomes. Due to this reason, Records will not only provide generous insights into the fallacies surrounding the Commission but also entice readers with limited or no prior knowledge about the Commission's existence.
