“This mighty parliament.” (22 November 1826) The item
appears to be a quotation, not a title.
In his History of the
Commonwealth (6:463-66), WG collects epitaphs on the Barebones
Parliament (which sat from 6 December
1648
through 20 April
1653). He cites the
following sources:
Whitlocke,
Memorials of English
Affairs (see annotation of WG's diary (
1804-07-12)
Mrs. Hutchinson,
Memoirs of the life of Colonel Hutchinson (
1812-08-13)
Algernon Sidney,
Discourses on government (
1815-09-19)
Coke,
Detection of the
court and state of England (
1826-11-23) WG reads in the British Museum on this
date.
