"The Works of Samuel Johnson, LL.D. Volume 11" by Samuel Johnson is a collection of political debates and discussions likely compiled during the early 19th century. This volume contains various parliamentary debates addressing key issues of the time, such as public affairs, war, and the responsibilities of government officials, reflecting the political landscape and societal concerns of the era in which they were written. The opening of the work introduces a debate that took place in the House of Commons on December 8, 1741, regarding a motion to address the king. The discourse is centered on the significance of maintaining respect and decorum toward the monarchy while also advocating for the common people's interests. Several prominent speakers, including Mr. Herbert and Mr. Trevor, contribute to the discussion, balancing their allegiance to the crown with a desire to assert the commons' rightful role in governance. They debate the necessity of providing sound advice to the king and ensuring that the nation's resources are properly managed, outlining the tension between governmental authority and public accountability inherent in parliamentary discussions of the time.
