Representative corruption from Marvell's seasonable argument
A Westminster Review notice reproduces Marvell's catalogue of bribery in the House of Commons under Charles II. It lists Sir Humphrey Winch, Sir Thomas Higgon, Sir Robert Sawyer, Sir Jonathan Trelawney, Lord Hawly, and many others with pensions, boons, or offices. The piece argues that wealth did not shield elites from bribery and notes Parliament's unreformed, sprawling printings and boundary reports.
