PREFACE.

THE present Volume brings the Parliamentary History of this Country down to the Year 1771; and, like the preceding Volumes, contains many interesting Debates which have never found their way into any former Collection. To enumerate them would be to exceed the limits of a Preface, but the Editor begs leave to call the particular attention of the Subscribers to the following: viz.

1766. Feb. 10. Debate in the House of Lords, on the Power of the King to make Laws and Statutes of sufficient force and validity to bind the Colonies and People of America. This Debate is printed from a Manuscript in the Hardwicke Collection; and contains the great Lord Camden's first Speech in the House of Peers.

1768. Dec. 15. Minute of Proceedings in the House of Lords, respecting the Discontents in America. From the Hardwicke Papers.

Nov. 24. Debate in the Commons on the Address of Thanks in Answer to the King's Speech.
