| Item Description: | "Extracts from Select Committees on the Peerage. 'There is no statute to authorise the King to make any person a Lord of Parliament not holding lands to which that right (if it ever existed) belonged.' --Report of 1819, p. 10.' It seems manifest from what is stated in the Report of 1819, although not directly asserted, that the Peerage of the present day, is a body materially different in many points from the ancient Baronage of England.'--3rd Report, p. 33.". |
