What has Parliament yet done for the country
The author rails at Parliament in 1838, accusing it of doing nothing or worse. He laments empty debates, failed reforms on tithes, poor laws, debtor relief, and the Reform Bill, denounces court panderings and fiscal waste, and urges readers to ask themselves what Parliament has achieved for the nation.
