  EXTRACTS FROM SELECT COMMITTEES ON THE PEERAGE.
  There is no statute to authorise the King to make any person a
  Lord of Parliament not holding lands to which that right (if it
ever existed) belonged.-Beport of 1819, p. 10.
   It seems manifest from what is stated in the Report of 1819,
although-not directly asserted, that the Peerage of the present day,
is a body materially different in many points from the ancient
Baronage of England.-3rd Report, p. 33.





                LONDON:

  J. RIDGWAY AND SONS, PICCADILLY.

                  MDCCCXXXVII.
