Burdett "who presented the Westminster reform petition 9 Feb. and opposed Wellington's annuity 16 Feb. was unwell on 21 Feb. when John Gale Jones the radical publicist was committed to Newgate for breach of privilege in challenging the right of the House to exclude strangers. He revived the issue 12 Mar. by moving for his release and denouncing the use of privilege as an offensive weapon but he secured only 14 mostly reluctant votes. Cobbett's Political Register of 24 Mar. 1810 reprinted his speech and prefaced it with an address to his constituents impugning the House for illegal exercise of its privilege. Ministers welcomed the issue as a diversion from the Walcheren question and with their connivance Thomas Buckler Lethbridge moved on 27 Mar. that Burdett was in breach of privilege. He stood by his address but the debate was adjourned. On 30 Mar. he supplemented his support for the Whig resolutions on Walcheren with a further call for reform. He was found guilty of a breach of privilege 5 Apr. and on the motion of Sir Robert Salusbury carried by 190 votes to 152 was ordered to be sent to the Tower. On 6 Apr. he gave the serjeant-at-arms who called with the Speaker's warrant the impression that he would go peaceably into custody but when the serjeant reprimanded by Abbot returned later the same day to effect the arrest Burdett told him that he had written to the Speaker to dispute the legality of the warrant and that he would submit only to force. He barricaded himself in his Piccadilly house over the weekend and serious disturbances occurred when troops clashed with the crowds which had assembled under the encouragement of Place and the Westminster radicals. He was taken by force on 9 Apr. when Lord Boringdon commented that 'yesterday was the most anxious day London has known since 1780" History of Parliament Online. Four locations in Library Hub.

A little wear to joints and extremities well hidden by refurbishment a few superficial marks to covers otherwise a perfectly sound and not unattractive binding. Offsetting from frontispiece onto title a few other imperfections in the text small spots short tear to one leaf otherwise a nearly fine copy internally with thick paper that is fresh and clean with deep impressions of the type and with vast margins.<br/> <br/> This is a very pleasing copy of a work consisting of 15 chapters containing a great many admonitions relating to what is proper with regard to clothing walking and travelling visits gratitude salutations speech writing eating and drinking "marriage and uncleanness" plays and recreations acts of justice observation of the Lord's Day "carriage in the Church" gift giving and commerce. As the 1835 preface tells us "Petrie who has been facetiously called the Scottish Chesterfield is generally understood to have begun life as a domestic tutor in the family of Sinclair of Stevenstoun and to have ended it as a parish schoolmaster in East Lothian. His 'Rules of Good Deportment' may be taken as the result of his artless observations upon the manners of a class of society to which he was probably admitted only as a humble spectator. From the manifest sincerity however of his delineations of 'Good Breeding' and the graphic character of many of his scenes it may fairly be presumed that they were painted from nature--and they present probably less of a caricature of Scottish manners early in the 18th century than might at first be imagined." It is known that Scott had begun but did not finish the project of reprinting this work for the Bannatyne Club and the frontispiece prepared for that edition is used here. Both the first edition of 1720 and this 1835 reprint are infrequently encountered on the market. unknown
