Excerpt from A Complete Collection of the Protests of the Lords, Vol. 1: With Historical Introductions; 1624-1741
The Journals of the Lords begin with the reign of Henry VIII The list of the Lords heads the entry for the day, and from 1514 the attendances are registered. The prominence given to the names of Lords is due to the fact that attendance on the business of the House was compulsory, fines being leviable on absentees without leave, and proxies being re quired from those who could not attend. The registration of these proxies was one of the earliest pieces of business in each Parliament, and it was the custom for absent Lords to name several proxies, evidently in order to save the risks of non-attendance. The standing order which afterwards regulated the nomination of proxies was entered on the Journals on the 2 5th of February, 1626. The Journals between 1515 and I 5 3 3 are lost.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, an invaluable resource, consists of protests with reasons entered on the Journals of the House of Lords from the reign of Henry VIII to the reign of George IV, an era spanning four centuries of crucial change and political turbulence. These protests, initially intended to guard the Peers from royal retribution for giving 'ill advice', evolved as a means for the minority to express dissent on issues of grave concern. Thus, they offer a unique glimpse into the evolution and conflicts of ideas and factions that shaped England's political landscape. The protests reveal a fascinating ideological tapestry: from the religious upheavals of the Tudor era to the constitutional struggles of the 17th century, from the debates over royal authority to the bitter divisions over the American Revolution. The author meticulously analyzes these protests, providing insights into the motives and strategies of the Peers, the subtleties of parliamentary procedure, and the complexities of the political landscape. Through its thorough examination of these protests, this book not only highlights the significance of the House of Lords as a check on royal power but also demonstrates how dissenting voices, even within the elite of society, challenged dominant narratives and pushed the boundaries of political thought. The insights this book offers make it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the rich tapestry of English history.
