Bishops as an Estate of the Realm debated in letters
A long correspondence discusses whether bishops form a separate estate of the realm and their parliamentary role. It cites Blackstone and Coke, notes in 17th century protests, and argues bishops hold a fragile, nonpersonal parliamentary privilege tied to writs of summons rather than true peerage. It questions whether the crown can compel the Lords to sit and reflects on historical authorities.

The Tariff Debate Erupts Over Trade Growth and Prices
The author cites rising exports from £36,860,376 in 1827 to £58,584,292 in 1845, with most gains credited to global markets and little from British North American trade. Silk, flax, and wool show rising value despite no protection, while foreign wool imports and tariff effects on meat prices are questioned.
