A Dodgson Pamphlet on Voting

Lewis Carroll wrote many works under his real name and this is one of his pamphlets on voting. He applied his mathematical expertise to several other subjects, tennis and politics to name but two. This pamphlet is in very nice condition, with a deletion in Dodgson’s hand of a word in the last line of pg 5. The pamphlet is a first ( and only) edition printed in Oxford in 1874 by the University printers. It came in a group of Carroll pamphlets from the same source as the Objections/Quadrangle pamphlet shown earlier here. A thing a collector might see or be offered once in a lifetime.
