The Prerogative Of Creating Peers (1856)

Exploring the monarch's authority to create peers, this political treatise emphasizes its significance in balancing governmental power. The author argues against limitations imposed by Parliament, advocating for the House of Lords as a crucial counterbalance to the House of Commons. Delving into the history of peerage in Britain, the text defends the necessity of new peer creation for the Lords' effectiveness. Written persuasively, it offers valuable insights into mid-19th century British politics, while also being a facsimile reprint of the original work.
