Proceedings in the House of Commons, 1672-1678.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/702177572

Manuscripts, in multiple hands, of chronological journals of proceedings in the House of Commons, including bills, resolutions, committee appointments, and orders of the house. The first volume, though it also contains appointments of committees and hearings of petitions concerning false elections, primarily documents the prosecution of the Popish Plot in 1678. The following four volumes contain more routine Parliamentary activities, including hearing petitions regarding rent disputes; the appointment of a committee to inspect the offices of the Navy; and bills for raising money in Norwich to repair walls and cleanse the river; laying an imposition on hearths and stoves; and for the preservation of the king's stores of powder and ammunition.

5 v. (1566 p.) ; 37 x 25 cm.
