8o I^F^ ^^^ LETTERS OF with His Grace or the candidate at their head. The candidates meantime advertise in the papers their wishes to be elected, and request the votes and interest of all the worthy and independent electors in their favor. . . . When we hear, in common language, that such a duke sends 16 members to Parliament^ and that such a gentle- man has bought a borough, what shall we think of the political freedom of this people.

He proposes to return himself as one member and sell the other place for three hundred pounds each election.

I went, towards evening, with Mr. Vaughan to the Marquis of Lansdowne's, in Berkeley Square.
