Stran 794 - The original Power of the Collective Body of the People of England examined and asserted...
Stran 478 - That the crown of Ireland is an imperial crown, inseparably annexed to the crown of Great Britain ; on which connexion, the interests and happiness of both nations essentially depend : but that the kingdom of Ireland is a distinct kingdom, with a parliament of her own, the sole legislature thereof.
Stran 460 - If, from these last-mentioned records, it be concluded that the parliament of England may bind Ireland, it must also be allowed that the people of Ireland ought to have their representatives in the parliament of England ; and this, I believe, we should be willing enough to embrace ; but this is a happiness we can hardly hope for.
Stran 437 - Portland, as First Lord of the Treasury ; Lord John Cavendish, Chancellor of the Exchequer ; Lord Stormont, President of the Council; Lord North and Mr.
Stran 460 - The Case of Ireland Being Bound by Acts of Parliament in England Stated.
Stran 400 - I am sorry for it, since he would otherwise have certainly compelled us to leave him ; but, if he be resolved to assume the right of advising his majesty, and directing the operations of the war, to what purpose are we called to this council ?

Stran 715 - I can, at least twice in an evening, see the tip of my cherub's nose. Were she to marry into the third class of grandees, I should see no more of her during my stay in Denmark ! It is really ridiculous to see how the world is parcelled out here into no less than nine classes, six of whom I must never encounter without horror. Yet my opera-glass tells me that numbers eight and nine beat us all hollow as to flesh and blood. But as Surgeons become Counts and Prime Ministers in this island, my buxom...
Stran 480 - Flood moved, in the House of Commons, for leave to bring in a bill for the more equal representation of the people in Parliament.
