The arguments upon the abdication of King James ye 2d. Martis 22 die Jany. 1688, [1698].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702177355

Manuscript, in a single hand, of a copy of a report of proceedings and speeches in both houses of Parliament between January and February 1688. The manuscript concerns the abdication of King James II, and the bulk of the speeches concern the term "abdication" as opposed to "desertion," and which of these terms most accurately describes the actions of James II. Speeches draw on Latin etymologies; historical precedents of abdications; and a discussion of whether a kin is able to renounce his kinship at all. Speech-givers include Sir George Treby; Daniel Finch, Earl of Nottingham; Henry Hyde, Earl of Clarendon; Sir Robert Howard; and Thomas Herbert, Earl of Pembroke. The manuscript is dated "Woolavinton [Somerset] August ye 23 1698."
