The Prerogative of Creating Peers (1856)

The Prerogative of Creating Peers is a political treatise published anonymously in 1856. The book discusses the power of the British monarch to create peers, or members of the House of Lords. The author argues that this power is an important tool for maintaining the balance of power between the different branches of government, and that it should not be limited by Parliament or other political bodies. The book also explores the history of peerage creation in Britain, and the role of peers in the political system. The author makes a case for the continued importance of the House of Lords as a check on the power of the House of Commons, and argues that the creation of new peers is necessary to ensure that the House of Lords remains an effective institution. The book is written in a clear and persuasive style, and provides a valuable insight into the workings of the British political system in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
