Note 18 — LETTER XII. TO WILLIAM JAY, ESQ., BEDFORD, NEW YORK.
Reading edition
Even in the parliament of 1832, I find no less than seventy-four of the eldest sons and heirs of peers, sitting as commoners. Among them are Lords Surrey, Tavistock, Worcester, Douro, Graham, Mandeville, and Chandos. All of whom are the eldest sons of Dukes. In the parliament of 1830, were also Lords Seymour, Euston, and Blandford, of the same rank.
