"You says you loves my darter; well, what then,
Does she love you, for that's the point o' the story?
What are ye? What's your name? The where and when
Is what I wants. Han't you ne'er met before, eh?
If you're a Whig-off to the devil's den!

But if you be's a gentleman and Tory,

As hates the mob, and every thing what's base,
There's something may be said in that there case.

-"You hates the Radicals ?-ah, so does I,

A set of damn'd, disgusting, nasty fellows, Talking of justice, right, humanity,

And puffing every fire with their new bellows.

I never heard such grunting in a stye,

If we don't do exactly what they tell us ; And such an everlasting botheration

As they kicks up 'bout that there hedication! "No man as hasn't, at the very least,

Three hundred pounds a-year should dare to read :— Let them work hard, obey their parish priest, And think themselves prodigious well indeed, That their superiors gives them leave to feast

Whenever they've the wittles. What's the need Of books or learning to the poor and humble, Except to make the half-starv'd wretches grumble? "Is not the Bible-d1—n them—quite enough

To teach them every thing they're fit to know? 'Honour the King,'' Fear God,'-ah, that's the stuff To make them in the proper way to go. The parsons read the lessons, cantum suff.,

And what the devil more could angels do? Them's your opinions-is them? Then, adzooks, You're not so great a noodle as you looks."

For Susan's sire was eloquent and good,

A sort of C-mb-rl-nd in lowlier station,-
Modest, like that great Duke, and far from rude,—
A faultless pillar of a church and nation:
Pressing as near the PERFECT as he could,

And glad to seize the earliest occasion,
To show that he could never wish to hurt you,
Whose life was ruled by piety and virtue.
To all his questions, I responded, "Yes, sir :"
Which meant that I was willing to receive
His points of faith, the greater and the lesser,
And swear that I was ready to believe:
As we are told by a devout professor

Of his pure faith, who bade us not deceive,
That swearing to a statement means no more,
Than that my tutor swore to it before!
Oh, blessed doctrine! pure unspotted mind,
Fit holder of the mitre and the crook!
Bright wisdom, which so softly can unbind

The conscience of the peasant or the duke!
One universal church we now may find,

On which 'twill be a blessedness to look,
Weeded of Faith, Love, Charity, and Hope,
The devil its god, hell heaven, and Philpotts Pope !
And what's religion but an empty sound,

Unless in gold and precious robes we trick her?
Strip her of these,-and prone upon the ground
She sinks, and fades,-no rainbow fading quicker.
But feed her well, and safely guard her round
With Dean and Rector, Chancellor and Vicar,
You'll find her such a comfortable saint,
As Paul nor Peter ever dared to paint.

Vide the Duke's speech at the Oxford Tom-foolery.

These arguments are scarcely mine, I fear;
But really we so often hear them stated,—
And in the mouth of Inglis they're so clear,
With such a weight of wit and wisdom freighted;
And Wellington and Lyndhurst, and each peer
Whose lives and their religion seem well mated,
Urge them so warmly, that my conscience writhes,
If you dispart true Piety and Tithes.
-But I must ramble back to Mr. Brown,

His glorious notions, and portentous speeches :
When he perceived his doctrines were my own,

He hitched high up the waistband of his breeches ; And hollowed in his softest, friendliest tone,

"Well, I don't care so much about your riches; But, Susan, little Susan, do ye see,

Shan't never marry none but an M. P.

"When you has gained your seat and ta'en your station, As a through-going Ministers' supporter, Damning Reform, and all such botheration,

And laying on new taxes every quarter,—
Why, then, I'll take into consideration,

Whether I'll let you call upon my darter :-
But gain your 'lection first, and do and say
Whatever you're desired by Castlereagh."
For this was in the glorious Tory time,

When even the Whigs were thought the People's friends; When treachery, and tyranny, and crime,

Work'd out, by Heaven's decree, their rightful ends; And Freedom, from the blood, and filth, and slime,

Where they had sunk her,—as the eagle tends
Heav'nward from earth,-sprang wildly up, and cried
With a loud voice, to which men's hearts replied.
And forth into the earth that voice hath past,
A mighty voice, an everlasting song;

Sounding and gathering grandeur, till at last
The eternal Heavens that anthem shall prolong :-
-But Mr. B. and I, with laughter vast,

Despised all fools who prate about their wrong;
And as to chains and dungeons, as a stopper

To slaves' complaints, we think them right and proper.
We think it right and just, that Silvio's heart
Should gnaw itself away in solitude;
That he should bear the wracking fever's smart,
With fetters on his limbs. We think it good
That rogues like him, who venture to impart

Their thoughts on things they have not understood,
Should learn true wisdom on a dungeon's floor,
And so Heav'n bless the Austrian Emperor !
We think it right and just that men who grumble,
Merely because they're scorn'd, or scourged, or slain,—
Urged at the bayonet's point, in accent humble,

To sue for mercy which they ne'er obtain,―
But forced upon their weary way to stumble,

To where bleak tempests sweep the frozen plain,-
Should pay the penalty of pride and freedom,
And see if things like these will clothe and feed 'em.
We think it right that Cæsars should demolish

The useless arts which war against their thrones ;
That by their word of pow'r they should abolish
All songs, all plays, all lov'd, familiar tones;
In fact that they should do away the Polish,
Which gives new life e'en to the withered bones
Of palsied Eld;-we think it quite ridiculous
To doubt this fact, and so-Long life to Nicholas !

⚫ See the account of his imprisonment by Silvio Pellico.

We think it right and just, that where a land,
Rich, fertile, populous; than which the sun
Sees none more lovely, as he takes his stand
In heaven's height, that where this land has run,
For centuries, her course beneath the hand
Of her deliberate tyrants, one by one,
Each worse than other, without respite giv❜n,
From woes 'gainst which her inmost soul has striven:---
We think it right that where a land like this
Hath been ill used, it should be yet used ill,
As if 'twere an enjoyment and a bliss,

Her cup of grief with bitterer dregs to fill;
To let her find that she must humbly kiss

The rod which is suspended o'er her still;
Cheated and bullied, gagg'd and pow'rless cast,-
With each new insult crueller than the last ;—
A sword o'er every head ;-an idol raised,
Hideous and grim, to fill the land with awe-
A monster, on the car of slaughter based—
A Juggernaut, in mockery call'd Law;
And worse to be bepitied and bepraised

By those who thus her fetters tighter draw:
We think all this quite right:so, please the pigs,
We'll drink long life and glory to the Whigs!
Time was when we beheld with huge dismay,
The phalanx of opposing leaders rise;
At once we saw (in fancy) swept away

Snug births, and useless pensions, and each prize
Which a loose conscience might attain :—and Grey
Seem'd a destroying demon in our eyes;
While Rice, and Althorp, Stanley, Graham, and Russell,
Kept us, with fear of change, in constant bustle.
Alas! what horrid sights we fear'd to see!
Taxes repeal'd, and such reduced expenses,
That every man beneath his homestead tree
Might ne'er be martyr'd under law's pretences;
We feared the people, from their chains set free,

Would, after a long madness, find their senses,
And ask the quacks, who doctor'd them, a question
Or two, that might be tedious of digestion !
And One above the rest, we fear'd and hated,—
A Saul among the people,-eloquent,—
A patriot-yet with no false hopes elated,-
With all the rainbow hues of genius blent
Round Truth, the idol of his worship, fated

To be his country's champion, and to tent
The wounds we gave her. How we curs'd his name,
And knew the while such curses were true fame!
But Brough'm we curse not now !

In fact 'tis charming,
To see how very nicely they behave.
As to their deeds, they're not the least alarming—
For if a sop or two the rascals gave

To Cerberus, you'd quickly see them arming

To take it back again. REFORM we have,
A great, strong tree, with far-outstretching roots,
Some leaves, but where the devil are the fruits?
Oh! precious fruits that goodly tree has borne,—
A monstrous apple, call'd the Bread-Tax pippin,
Glist'ning and shining in the eyes of morn;

With tears, instead of dew, its rind is dripping!
But mark me well: -Some morning, rudely torn

From off the bough, its ponderous burden slipping,
Will tumble on some wise heads in the nation,
And teach them some new laws of gravitation.

Another precious apple may we see,

Growing in lustrous beauty. Sound and good The apple seems; but strange appears to be Its nature for whilst here the trunk has stood, The taste is charming; but if once the tree

You shake in Ireland, down fall clots of blood For apples and we call the fruit the sameThe mild Coercion Greybeard is its name.

In short, I think we're in as good condition As if the Tories took the helm again : The Whigs, in fact, are not a new Edition,

But just a change of binding. Still remain The errata for a want of due revision;

With no omissions or if chance a stain Be now expunged, 'tis ten to one we trace Three others quite as nasty in its place.

Anderson's Guide to the Highlands and Islands
of Scotland. p.p. 759.
London: Murray,
Albemarle Street.

This TOURIST'S GUIDE is the joint production of two northern gentlemen, brothers. To render this work complete in all its parts, they have devoted to it the leisure of ten years, in which they have "made their legs their compasses," and traversed almost every scene and examined every object described. The pains taken, together with the unusual facilities the Messrs. Anderson possessed for acquiring an accurate, intimate, and extensive acquaîntance with their native land, have been attended with the natural results. We may at last say that we possess an intelligent, accurate, and clearly-arranged guide-book, in a volume containing a mine of luminous and welldigested information on the past and present condition of that portion of Scotland which is most interesting to all strangers. The work opens with a historical introduction, and a general view of the Highlands. It is then divided into six great ROUTES, to which diverging or Branch Routes are made subsidiary. The geology, botany, and antiquities of each district are added to the Route described, as an Appendix, which is printed in a small type, thus keeping science distinct from matters of more general interest.

The

The centre or starting-point of Route I. is Inverness : the branches are:-1.-A., an excursion to Fort George, Cawdor Castle, the Moor of Culloden, and the intervening objects. 2.-B., Strathnairn and Stratherrick.-3. This will -C., Strathdearn and the Findhorn, &c. &c. Route I. has in give an idea of the plan of the volume. our opinion too many branches, and is too minute, but it is the only one to which we can bring this objection. Route II. in some of its branches opens up ground hitherto almost unknown to the Tourist, as Branch C., the Glengarry road to Loch Hourn-Head, and A,, Invermoriston to Kyle Rhea and Kyle Akin, routes which we rejoice to see, for the first time, thrown open. other branches are comparatively familiar to tourists, but we must not forget that this book is chiefly intended for those who propose to become tourists. In Route V. there are other new paths opened up to the enterprising traveller in the Highlands, which in grandeur, beauty, and wildness of scenery yield to none of the old beaten tracks. We would point out particularly in this Route, Branches A. and C.; the first only known at its beautiful vestibule, or partially, to southern sportsmen, the last scarcely known at all, save to persons driven by business or necessity into the fastnesses of the wildest region of the land of mountains and floods. The branches lying in the central and western parts of Sutherlandshire and running into Caithness, are quite novel,-and beyond the reach, and even the guesses, of any of our former Guides. The copious and varied information contained in this work derives interest and spirit from the descriptions of scenery with which it is interspersed, and the legends and traditionary local history with which it is enlivened. In this respect the Messrs. Anderson have judiciously performed the part o well-informed and intelligent guides, holding the happy medium between obtrusive loquacity and dull silence. The work has one fault, but that is of a temporary nature. It ought to have appeared earlier in the season to have ensured a place in every portmanteau, knapsack, fishing-basket, or imperial, coming northward of the

Highland Line. We could also have wished that, for the benefit of pedestrians, the authors had in more instances, or in every instance, given us ramifications of their Branches, shepherd's paths and bridle tracks, leading from one valley over the hills to another. We would have wished, for example, to be conducted from every point, as we are from Guisachan into Glen Urquhart, or Glen Moriston, or, as we are from the Inn at the Trosachs by the several pedestrian routes through different glens to Loch Earn Head. This might seriously interfere with the immediate business of the page, but a few notes in small type would be precious to downright-earnest pedestrian travellers, more intent on erploring these wild regions than on recounting their exploits. We could also have wished the Messrs. Anderson to exhort the travelling parties, rolling along smoothly in their carriages, on the excellent Parliamentary roads, to diverge a little way from the main route occasionally, and run up, though but for a few miles, into such valleys as Glen Moriston and Glen Urquhart, or to take a glance of Strath Fleet in crossing the mound; and the farther they penetrate into the interior the better, if their real object be Highland scenery. We would also

have relished an outline of the personal adventures of our guides while making their various journeys; but this might be still more out of place. The work closes with an account of the Orkney and Shetland Islands, which furnish the material of Route VI. This book is one, which, from personal knowledge of nearly all the ground gone over, save the above Islands, we can safely recommend as accurate, comprehensive, and complete. We do warmly recommend it as a volume which would have proved a treasure to former Highland tourists, and which no one now should set out without, who desires an intelligent guide and pleasant companion. A good portable map by Arrowsmith accompanies the volume, and is snugly tucked within its neat case.

Biographical Sketches of Eminent Artists, comprising Painters, Sculptors, Engravers, and Architects, with an Introduction containing a brief history of the various Schools of Art. By John Gould. London: Wilson.

WHEN we say that this work forms one thick pocket volume, its utility will be obvious to those who have hitherto been compelled, at great trouble and expense, to wade through the many bulky works whose essence is contained in it. It is arranged alphabetically, and will form the Vade Mecum of the artist, the amateur, and the dealer in works of art. The compilation appears to have been carefully digested. Many obscure names meet us no doubt; but this was absolutely necessary to render the work complete. We may, however, regret that, for this reason, more columns could not be devoted to the great Masters of Art.

A Companion to the Atlas, in a series of Geographical Tables on a new plan, forming a complete System of Geography. By Ebenezer Miller, A.M.

whole bound up like an Atlas, we have a tabular system of Geography which may be comprehended at a glance. Each sheet that is devoted to a country is divided into columns, one for the name of the counties or the other great divisions, one for the population of the chief towns, and another for whatever is remarkable in the town mentionéd. The utility of the plan is striking: -the tables form a species of intellectual maps, furnishing at a rapid glance ample and accurate geographical and statistical informa tion, respecting any particular country or State with which we either wish to become acquainted or to which we wish to refer: The ingenious author pleads for the necessity of a large sheet, to the completion of his design. To us the size appears the principal merit; for without the peculiar size, the form could not have existed, nor the design been executed. Mr. Miller's system only requires to be seen to meet with deserved encouragement.

Journal of a visit to the principal Vineyards of Spain and France. By James Busby, Esq.

The successful cultivation of the vine in New South Wales, is an important colonial object at the present moment. To facilitate the culture of this gladdening and enriching plant in the land of his adoption, Mr. Busby made a voyage to Europe, and in the autumn of 1831, travelled extensively in the wine countries. The results of his own observatious, and of the information he received, are given in his journal. Though the vine and the fermented juice thereof were his leading objects, other matters connected with agricultural improvement were not overlooked. Mr. Busby had the good fortune to obtain a collection of the various vine plants at the Botanic garden of Montpelier, which the Colonial Secretary enabled him to send in safety to New South Wales, to be there placed in an Experimental Garden. We hope that the experiment so happily commenced may be successfully completed, and that we may have the pleasure within ten years of drinking a cup of thanks to Mr. Busby in the Burgundy or any other good wine of New South Wales. The journal has considerable interest as a book of travels.

Spirit of Chambers' Journal.

HERE we have printed, in a very neat small volume, the best of the original canny tales, and the cannier sketches, contributed to Chambers' Journal, chiefly we should imagine, by Mr. Robert Chambers. There are a few romantic tales also, but romance is not the forte of a writer, whose well-defined path lies on the broad, open tracks of every-day life, in its common and ordinary goings-on. Some of the domestic stories are, however, really touching. We would cite as such the Downdraught, and Susan Hamilton; but the spirit of the volume and of the writer lies in such light sketches, as Flitting Day, Removal, Fits of Thrift, and Controllers General.

L'Echo de Paris,

Is a selection of familiar French phrases, which it will be useful for those to have at their finger ends, or in their travelling desks, who are not proficients in that language which will carry them farther through Europe than any other.

The Youth's Book of Plates on Natural History, as used in the Glasgow Deaf and Dumb Insti

tution.

We take a peculiar interest in every work intended for the use of those shut out from knowledge by imperfection or total obliteration of sight or hearing. The deaf and dumb are in general remarkable for acuteness of vision. To the eye, this work is therefore chiefly addressed, though letter-press descriptions, which accompany the engravings, inform the understanding. The animals, to the amount of maný hundreds, are exhibited in their comparative sizé, and the Linnæan system of classification is adopted. The drawings are lively and accurate, and we would recommend this work as a most acceptable, useful, and entertaining present to Nurseries, Infant Schools, and young children.

Periodicals and Works published in Series. CRABBE'S POEMS.-The Seventh volume of Crabbe's Poems continues the "Tales of the Hall." The publisher, Mr. Murray, has been very tantalizing in so long withholding the poet's picture. We suppose it is reserved as a bonne bouche for the concluding volume. In this one there are a few verses out the death of Sir Samuel Romilly, which are published for the first time. We are tempted to copy them here, for the following, among other reasons : In that querulous work, the lately published Autobiography of Sir Egerton Brydges, the unhappy old gentleman, who has been idly fretting his spleen for so many years, because the aristocratic world would not name him Lord Chandos of Sudely, and the literary world hail him a man of genius, we find a letter from Dr. Southey, which says, "I did not like Romilly; he was more an ancient Roman, or a modern American, than an Englishman, in his feelings..........Whitbread I liked still less." Sir Samuel Romilly could afford to dispense with even the good liking of Dr. Southey, while from Crabbe his memory drew forth a tribute so just and affectionate as the following:

Thus had I written, so a Friend advised,
Whom, as the first of counsellors I prized;
The best of guides to my assuming pen—
The best of fathers, husbands, judges, men.
"This will be read," I said, "and I shall hear
Opinion, wise, instructive, mild, sincere ;
For I that mind respect for I the man revere."

I had no boding fear! but thought to see,
Those who were thine, who looked for all to thee;
And thou wer't all! There was, when thou wert by,
Diffused around the rare felicity,

That wisdom, worth, and kindness can impart,
To form the mind and gratify the heart.
Yes, I was proud to speak of thee as one,
Who had approv'd the little I had done,
And taught me what I should do! Thou wilt raise
My doubting spirit by a smile of praise,
And words of comfort! Great was thy delight
Fears to expel, and ardour to excite-

To wrest the oppressor's arm, and do the injured right.
Thou hadst the tear for pity, and thy breast
Felt for the sad, the weary, the oppressed!
And now-afflicting change -all join with me,
And feel, lamented Romilly, for thee."

The subject of the Tale to which these verses are, for the first time, subjoined, had been suggested to Mr. Crabbe, on the 10th September, 1818, by Sir Samuel Romilly, and he died on the 30th October of that year. They were written on the 6th November.

D'ISRAELI'S CURIOSITIES OF LITERATURE is con cluded in six volumes, of which the last has just appeared. The lounger's library, particularly if he be a man of literary tastes and habits, has not for a long period received so desirable an addition as this cheap work. There are some precious and also charming morsels in this final volume. Among the number, are "Literary Residences," "Lord Bacon at Home," "Life of a Literary Antiquary," and "The True Sources of Secret History."

The Seventh Volume of VALPY'S HUME has just been published. It is embellished by an engraving of Cromwell dissolving the Parliament, and Charles I. parting with his children.

LAYS AND LEGENDS OF VARIOUS NATIONS, Parts JV. and V. We have already noticed with approbation these illustrations of the popular literature, customs, and traditions of the European nations. In the present parts we have more of Germany and Spain,-the latter a fountain of romantic legends scarcely yet opened.

THE PARLIAMENT.

The second session of the first Reformed Parliament has closed. No Ministry can venture to keep Parliament sitting after the middle of August; for grouse shooting is more attractive than legislation to the fledglings, who constitute a large proportion of the collective wisdom of the kingdom. The Parlia

ment was accordingly prorogued, by a speech from the throne, on the 15th of August. That speech was more than usually inane, and there is not a single sentence in it deserving of notice. Now, as at the close of the last session, a feeling of disappointment prevails with the working of the Reformed Parliament, and the necessity of still farther reforms,-and particularly of the ballot, and the shortening the duration of Parliaments,-becomes daily more apparent. Except the Poor-Law and the abolition of the House Tax, no measure of general importance has been carried through Parliament this session. The great cause of so little being effected during the sitting of Parliament is, that little or no preparation is made by Ministers during the vacation for the business of the ensuing sesssion. The consequence is, that the first part of the session is invariably lost in labours which ought to have been completed before the session commenced. Thus, though Parliament met this year on the 4th February, the Poor-Law Bill, the Church-Rate Bill, and the English Tithe Bill were not introduced till the middle of April, and the Irish Tithe Bill was not read a second time till the 2d of May. Another consequence of the want of preparation during vacation is, that measures are introduced in so crude and indigested a state, that they are forced to be withdrawn, after consuming much valuable time. As instances, in the present session, we need only mention the Church-Rate Bill, the English-Tithe Bill, the Imprisonment for Debt Bill, all of which have been postponed. Many others could be added to the list. The Budget was not introduced till the 25th of July. The financial statements of the year, laid before the House by Lord Althorp, were satisfactory:The receipts for the year ending 5th July,

1834, were

The expenditure,

Leaving a surplus of

L.46,914,586 44,737,556 L.2,177,030

This surplus is larger than any which has accrued since his Lordship's accession to office, being larger by L.675,030 than that of the preceding year, although taxes to the amount of L.1,500,000 have been taken off, and the expenditure has only been diminished by L.650,000. Assuming the next year's income to be the same as the last, and the expenditure L.44,971,213, the surplus would be L.1,943,373. Deducting from this surplus L.750,000 for interest of the slavery loan, and adding L.120,000 to be received from the Bank of England, L.50,000 saved by a reduction of the four per cents., and L.250,000 additional expected from the duties on tea,-the real surplus will be L.1,620,000. Retail spirit-dealers and beer-sellers, where the beer is drunk on the premises, are to pay 50 per cent. more for their licences. From this source L.195,000 are expected. The duties to be relinquished are :

The House-Tax,

The Reductions in the Customs, formerly

L.1,200,000

nishing. Although the actual consumption is from twelve to fourteen millions of gallons, only eight are brought to charge. This proves that the duty is too high, and Lord Althorp, therefore, proposed to reduce it from 3s. 4d. to 2s. 4d. per gallon; and, supposing two millions of gallons more were brought to charge, the loss to the revenue would not exceed L.200,000. The amount of taxes reduced since 1831, is L.6,300,000, but the reduction of income has only been L.3,000,000.

The second reading of the Poor-Laws Bill was carried in the House of Peers, by a majority of seventy-six to thirteen. Lord Brougham made the motion, which he supported in an elaborate address, which occupied nearly three hours in the delivery.

The new Coercion Bill made its way through Parliament with the rapidity with which measures against the liberties of the people usually proceed. Half a century may elapse before a measure the most obviously beneficial for the subjects is allowed to pass; but a few days is all that is necessary to place the persons and properties of the lieges at the feet of the Ministry. The second reading of the Coercion Bill was carried in the Commons by a majority of 146 to 25. The attempts of Mr. O'Connell in the committee, to mitigate its severity, proved unavailing. Mr. Poulett Scrope moved a resolution, pledging the House to adopt measures, at an early period, to ensure the population "the means of supporting life by honest and peaceful industry," that is, to establish a system of poor laws, but it was rejected by a majority of eighty-nine to thirty-four. The third reading was, subsequently, carried by a large majority, and the bill passed through the House of Lords in the course of three days, not without much discussion, but without any division. The discussion was occasioned, not by any attempt to oppose the passing of the bill, or to alleviate its severity, but because some of the harsher clauses in the former bill were omitted.

The South Australian Colony Bill met with considerable opposition, both in the Lords and Commons. The bill was, however, read a second time by a majority of thirty-three to seventeen. It afterwards passed the Commons without much opposition; and, after some discussion, the opposition in the Lords disappeared, and the bill was passed.

The bill for admitting Dissenters to the privileges of the English Universities, passed the Commons by a majority of 164 to 75, but was thrown out in the Lords on the second reading by a majority of 187 to 85. The second reading was moved by the Earl of Radnor, and was supported by Lord Melbourne and Lord Brougham. The Duke of Gloucester moved that the bill be read that day six months; and the amendment was supported by the Duke of Wellington, the Earl of Carnarvon, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Bishop of Exeter. The Bishops of Chichester and Derry voted for the second reading. The fate of this bill is not to be deplored. It will have its effect in turning public attention, and more especially the attention of the Dissenters, who, in all probability, comprise one half of the population of the United Kingdom, to the necessity of remodelling the House of Peers. The nuisance of the vote by proxy may, perhaps, be removed next session by the act of the Lords themselves, but the absurdity of hereditary legislation cannot be allowed to remain. And, indeed, what good reason can be assigned for a House of Peers at all? How does the circumstance of a person being created a Peer, or succeeding to a Peerage, render it necessary that he should have a control on the representatives of his fellow subjects? It will hardly be contended that the interests of the Peerage are adverse or hostile to those of the body of the community, for then the Peerage must be considered a nuisance; yet if their interests are not adverse, why give them a veto on the measures of the representatives of the people? Another instance of the injurious consequences of a House of Peers, occurred on the Warwick
