OF

DOLBY'S PARLIAMENTARY REGISTER.

THE Publishers, having now closed their Report of the Proceedings against HER MAJESTY the QUEEN, respectfully take leave of their Readers till the re-assembling of Parliament.

On a review of their labours, the publishers are enabled to indulge in the reflection, that they have laid before the public, by far the most complete Report of all the Proceedings against Her Majesty.

These Proceedings, alone, are sufficient to excite a lively interest in the breast of an indifferent observer; but when we take into consideration that all this dreadful "note of preparation" has been against a Lady, and that lady the rightful and beloved QUEEN of a brave and gallant nation; and when, further, we look to the probable results of this offensive warfare against all moral, as well as against all manly feeling; keeping in mind that the people of Great Britain have a long account to settle with their Rulers ;-these Proceedings may prove the forerunners of events, still more interesting, and of results, still more glorious!

Whatever may ensue, we shall faithfully do our duty. Our Register will be resumed, with increased claims to public support, on the re-assembling of Parliament, in January next.

299, Strand, Nov. 24, 1820.

Mr. CREEVEY was in doubt whether he rightly understood the Hon. Gent.
