Excerpt from An Exposition of the Circumstances Which Gave Rise to the Election of Sir Francis Burdett, Bart: For the City of Westminster, and of the Principles Which Governed the Committee Who Conducted That Election
With these feelings of the people, it was feared that they would look upon the evils that oppress the country as utterly irremediable; that they would consequently be indifferent to the conduct of their rulers; that all hope of salutary reform being given up, the love of their country would be extinguish ed, and in the hour of peril none would be found to defend his native land from foreign or domestic usurpation. It was feared that that independent spirit which Englishmen have so justly boasted that spirit which produced the Revolution of 1688 that spirit which elevated the people of this land above all others, was about to be offered up at the shrine of the com bined and opposing factions.
The consequences to be dreaded from this supineness, both morally and politically, were, that this country, so long famed for its manly virtues and determined spirit, would, from being the freest country on the earth, become, like Spain, enervated, debased, enslaved, and depopulated the advantages of its in sular situation, so favourable to liberty, would be lost, and this once proud and happy people would ultimately become the vassals of some tyrant of the Continent.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the precedent for limiting the authority of the Crown when assigning a regency to govern in place of the sovereign when they are temporarily incapacitated. The author examines the historical record of regencies in British history, beginning with the regency for Edward III in the 14th century, and extending to the regency for George III in the 18th century. The book argues that in no case have the two houses of Parliament ever assumed the right to limit the authority of the regent, and that to do so would be a dangerous innovation. The author concludes that, while it is necessary for the two houses to appoint a regent when the sovereign is incapacitated, their authority is limited to supplying the defect in the sovereign's personal capacity.
