Excerpt from book: Section 3been found bearing a direct application to the Borough; it is not therefore to be considered as a mere partial selection, made with a view of establishing a given proposition, but a concentration of all the Huntingdon documents, from which the inference contended for, we venture to say, textitmust be drawn; namely, that textitthe resident householders, the probi et legales homines of the place, were formerly the Burgesses, and that the Members were elected by such Burgesses. The abstracts are made as short as possible, including only the important words, with sufficient of their context to make them intelligible. These abstracts are generally given in English, but when the words themselves seem to demand attention, or when the document inserted is not observed upon, they are copied in Latin. The observations are studiously abbreviated, referring rather to collateral contemporaneous facts, in illustration of each document, than to mere argumentative discussion. In venturing on a subject of this nature, the Editor feels the necessity (a necessity which accords fully with his own inclination) of repudiating all political motives. Convinced on the one hand, that if usurpation can in any case be clearly made out (a task, for want of some general investigation, of considerable difficulty), the House of Commons will be ready to stop its progress, and to restore their rights to those from whom they were usurped; he is equally satisfied on the other, that in so doing justice there is no reason to fear that any serious evil will prevail: the wisdom andpolitical omnipotence of Parliament can, if absolutely necessary to the public good, establish that which no continuance of usurpation can legalize. The present publication has for its object, simply the investigation of the respective textitrights of partie. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., [PU: General Books, LLC]<
