Synopsis
A Letter On The Propriety And Legality Of Creating Peers For Life; Addressed To The Duke Of Wellington. Third Edition by Sir Harris Nicolas. This pamphlet, issued in the 1830s and issued in a third edition, argues against the unlimited expansion of hereditary peerages and proposes reviving the practice of creating peers for life to preserve the dignity and function of the House of Lords. The author addresses the Duke of Wellington and extends a reformist case for the Crown and Parliament to enable talents to be represented without permanently entrenching power in a hereditary line. The work surveys the administration of peerage claims, critiques the role of the Committee for Privileges, and highlights delays, costs, and potential biases that can undermine justice. It advocates that a life peerage should be coupled with adequate property to sustain independence, and suggests that extraordinary service may justify a life-bearing hereditary grant with a corresponding estate. Included are appendices of precedents and remarks on the adjudication of peerage claims, arguing for constitutional reform consistent with historical practice.
