ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the lecture on 'The Connection between the Calamities of the Present Reign, and the System of Borough-Mongering Corruption' by John Thelwall. In the lecture, Thelwall focuses on the burdens, which have occasioned the distresses of the industrious orders of the community; and the very low depression of the middling orders of society. As for Dundas, nobody can doubt that his services are great and important as his rewards, if they do but remember the indefatigable zeal with which, year after year, administration after administration, no matter who was in or who was out, he was ready to undertake whatever business was put upon him; proving thus, at once, the profundity and the versatility of his talents and principles.
