A detailed record of the House of Commons debates from January 24, 1786, including the royal speech and the response through the early session moves.

This volume captures the tone of the day as members react to peace, trade, naval strength, and public finances, with focused arguments on Ireland, revenue, and national security.

The proceedings mix formal addresses with spirited debate. Readers will see how lawmakers weigh peace and prosperity, scrutinize defense plans, and question the conduct of naval and military oversight. The text follows the flow from the king’s speech to the first expressions of parliamentary opinion.

The royal speech and the immediate Addrefs sets and responses.
Remarks on Ireland’s commercial proposals and the broader trade framework.
Discussion of naval readiness, debt reduction, and revenue security.
Critiques of fortification plans and the roles of key figures in defense.

Ideal for readers of early American and British parliamentary history, political debates of the era, and anyone exploring how 18th‑century lawmakers framed policy in times of peace and reform.
