CHAPTER IV.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS,

Returned to serve in the first parliament of William IV., 1830.

In a previous part of this work we have inserted the petition presented to the house of commons by Lord-then Mr.Grey, in 1793, praying for a thorough reform of that house in an extension of the franchise, a shortening of the duration of parliaments, and a securing to the people the free and spontaneous choice and election of the representatives. Subsequent events have rendered this petition, the society from whom it emanated, and the noble lord who presented it to the house, of more than ordinary interest to the public, and we shall offer no apology, therefore, for introducing a list, of the principal members of the society, and an extract from the speech delivered by Mr. Grey.

The society of the "Friends of the People" consisted, on the day of its formation, of one hundred and forty-eight members, most of whom were at that time conspicuous, either as public, or literary, or professional men: amongst them were

CHARLES GREY, Esq. M. P.
Hon. Thomas Maitland, M.P.
George Mons, Esq.
EARL OF LAUDERDALE.
JAMES MACKINTOSH, Esq.
Malcolm Laing Esq.
Rt. hon. lord Kinnaird.
Philip Francis, Esq. M. P.
W. H. LAMBTON, Esq. M. P.
George Tierney, Esq.
T. B. Hollis, Esq.
S. Whitbread, Esq. M.P.

Capel Left, Esq.

R. B. Sheridan, Esq. M. P.
Ald. Sawbridge, M. P.
John Whiston, Esq. M. P.
James Martin, Esq. M. P.
William Smith, Esq. M. P.
GEORGE BYNG, Esq. M. P.
John Cartwright, Esq.
Richard Sharpe, Esq.
Rev. J. Towers, M.A.
Alderman Combe.
T. Holt White, Esq.
