Preface
every borough in England might be proud to acknow
-ledge for its representative, Mr. Howard was, by the chance
of Election war, thrown out of his seat in an Assembly, which
might be more reverenced had it more men in it like him.—
Will any one say, because the Burgesses of Bedford were so
corrupt as to be insensible to his merits, or so fortunate as
to have met with stile superior merits in a rival candidate,
that it would be one of no advantage to the public for Mr.
Howard to have had the perusal of such a Bill? and
that in a question of police Mr. Howards opinion is not
worth the taking? I should be curious to see the person
who would say so. I will still suffer myself therefore to
hope to see the time, when the representatives of the pub-
-lic will no longer disdain to take their constituents into
council, and when Bills will be printed for the perusal,
not of the members of the House only, but of the members of
the community.
