To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It arose probably, as far as English peers are con- cerned, from accident. It has been continued principally, without doubt, because no serious attempt has been made to get rid of it, and perhaps partly from the desire of the principal commoners to monopolize the seats in their own house, and partly from the contempt in which the peers of ancient times held the inferior assembly. But even at present its inconvenience is palpable. Who is there, even among Tories not blinded by faction or ambitio...n, who does not anxiously wish that it were possible to retain Lord Spencer in that house in which his influence was so powerful and so beneficial ? or to restore Lord Brougham to the field in which he was so long the champion of improvement ? On what possible ground, not of fanciful analogy, or legal fiction, but of real convenience, is the choice of the people restricted ? Of course we do not wish to expose a peer to the rule which nominally requires every one who is elected to serve ; nor 84 would we allow him to vary his character at pleasure, and to pass and repass in the same session from house to house.
