Excerpt from Letter From a Member of the House of Commons to a Gentleman Without Doors: Relating to the Bill of Peerage Lately Brought Into the House of Lords

Bur to the Dilhonour of retrafiinga generallymeceived and plaufible Opinion was added that very obfuzom Calumny (more efpecially in this critical Cafe) that the Minil'rry (who feemed to be mofi concerned in the Succefsbf this Bill) had by Promifes of Titles, Penfions or Gratifications to Members of the Houfa ofconamons, or their Relations, gained over to their Side fuch as retrac'ted or even fufpen ded their Opinions and that tbefi' were the prevailing Arguments which enlightened'fo many, and'induce'd them to change their Sentiments. Arguments which all honefi' Men could heartily wifh were never made ul'e of; as in deed I doubt they have formerly been with too great Suc cefs. And 'tis a great Scandal to our Nation, that Gentle men of Fortunes would fcarce vouchfafe to concur in an apparent good thing for their Country, without bargain. Ing fora private Reward for doing it.
