IN order to render the List of the New Parliament, which we give in conformity with the established practice of this work, as interesting and useful as possible, it is proposed to furnish in the following Table of the House of Commons, elected to the First Parliament of George the IVth, a political chart of the British Senate, and a register of the votes of each member of the House of Commons, upon all questions of primary importance, agitated during the most eventful period of our domestic history. We have to regret that the unofficial form in which lists of majorities and minorities are given to the public, detracts from the implicit confidence which this record might otherwise claim; but it has been endeavoured, to supply the absence of an official sanction by the utmost industry of inquiry, and the following Table is presented as making the nearest approach to complete accuracy, which the circumstances of the case would permit. The small number of lists promulgated during the Session of 1820, and the general similitude of the questions to which they relate, have rendered it necessary to transgress a little the proper period of this Volume: but its indispensable use, in order to complete the purpose of the Table, will excuse this irregularity. It may be however, necessary to explain-that none of the members elected subsequently to 1820 are included in the general list; the result, therefore, of an enumeration of the votes upon the later questions, as stated in this Table, will frequently appear to differ from the actual division, as stated in the newspapers. The Aye or No must be understood as referring to the approval or disapproval of the principle of the particular measure considered, without any regard to the technical modifiction under which the vote was given. This course has been adopted to obviate the necessity of tedious and perplexing explanations. Where the member did not actually vote, but retired neutralizing an opposite vote, by what is called in the Parliamentary phrase pairing off; the significant A or N is printed in the Italic character A or N.
