Excerpt from Lewis's Cranio-Logical Lecture, Vol. 1 of 3: On Which Has Been Repeated Upwards of Four Hundred Times, to Crowed Audiences, in Various Parts of the United Kingdom, and Net With the Most Enthusiastic and Universal Applause
The origin of the present manner of printing the debates in Parliament.
That evil may be productive of good -and that the machinations of the vicious may operate in a manner contrary to their intentions, will be perceived by the following circumstance which gave rise to the origin of the present manner of printing the debates in Parliament.
The late Earl of Marchmont, in whose character there is not any thing that could entitle him to the least distinction amongst great men - was possessed of some qualities of a peculiar kind, which (it has been justly observed) frequently rendered him ridiculous, and produced consequences he never intended. To him the public are indebted for an interesting species of information, which it was his ardent and anxious wish to prevent: therefore there is no obligation due to his memory, for the benefit which his illiberality produced. The fact and the circumstances are worthy of expla nation, because they form an epoch in the history of Great Britain.
