Excerpt from An Address to the Peerage of His Country My Lords, When you peruse this address, the representatives of the British People will have transmitted to your Illustrious House a Bill, which, both in its tendency and principle, is fraught with no common interests. Such is the nature of this Bill - such its amplitude of aim and range of operation - such the circumstances that gave it birth and the sanction with which it has approached you, that it can scarcely fail to elicit your most serious attention. It may therefore appear strange that an unknown individual should with deliberate confidence advise you on the discharge of your immediate and proper functions. My Lords, there are events in life when ordinary rules and common observances must give place to modes of action peculiar and express. Our present political state is one of these. And no charge of presumption will lie against me when the remarkable condition in which this Bill has placed you is fairly and frankly weighed. Permit me then to shew the situation in which you stand, and the circumstances by which you are surrounded.
