"The Works of Samuel Johnson, LL.D. Volume 10" by Samuel Johnson is a historical compilation containing parliamentary debates, written during the early 19th century. This volume presents detailed discussions on various legislative issues, including the exportation of corn, the state of the army, and debates on seditious papers. The work reflects Johnson's insight into the mechanisms of government and the conditions of British politics during a tumultuous time, emphasizing the importance of public discourse in parliamentary proceedings. The opening of this volume introduces a collection of significant parliamentary debates from 1740 to 1742, which set the stage for understanding the political climate of the era. It discusses key issues such as the prohibition of corn exportation, highlighting the concerns of various colonies and the responses to petitions from different stakeholders. Johnson’s prefatory comments illuminate the evolution of public engagement with parliamentary process and the historical context that shaped these debates. The opening portion effectively establishes the significance of these discussions in understanding the balance between governmental authority and public concern, framing the text as a valuable resource for those interested in political history and rhetoric.
