Journals of the House of Commons

Journals of the House of Lords

These Journals contain some speeches, procedural accounts, attendances, but are scrappy and incomplete.

The Old Parliamentary History , compiled 1751-62.

The Parliamentary History of England , compiled by William Cobbett 1806-20.

Both these Parliamentary histories need supplementing and should be used with caution, but they make good use of contemporary pamphlets, etc. to fill in gaps in the Journals .
