A Lord ! Fri- volous and trumpery appellation ! Well may the poet observe, "What's in a name?" In good sooth I would rather be termed an ass, and be an honest man, than be doomed to wear the coronet of a legitimate buffoon ! What is the House of Lords ? the simplest of the simple could at once furnish an answer A congregation of (I was going to say human) flesh and blood as amenable for offences against the laws of common sense, as the veriest beggar in the land. Where in the name of all that's... just exists the vast distinction between us of the people, and yourselves of the Lords ? We were made by the same hand endowed of intellect by the same hand life's uncertain tenure held by the same hand the general way of death open and common to us all. Then wherefore this dis- tinction ? If property and wealth lays claim to pre-eminence then is the Duke of Newcastle safely booked for Heaven ! The humbug of this theory of theirs is now too well known to be entertained for a single moment it has, in fact, long since been exploded, but ne- cessity only till now has called forth its admission.
