THE LONG PARLIAMENT.
An Aristocratic English Body That
Did Work in the Days of
the Rebellion.

The long parliament was made up
of the very flower of the English gen.
try and the educated laity. 1t was
curious how many of the leaders came
from that ancient seat of learning
which was so soon to become. as it
for so long remained. the center of
all who held for church and king.
Selden was a member for the Univer-
sity of Oxford, and Ppm, Fiennes,
Martin. Vane, were all of them Oxford
men, as well as Hyde, Falkland, Dig
by. and others who in time passed
over to the royal camp. A student of
our day has remarked that these men
collectively represented a larger rela-
tive proportion of the best intellect
of the country. of its energy and tai
ents. than is looked for now in the
house of commons. 1t is. at any rate,
true that of Englishmen then alive
and of mature powers only two IA
nous names are missing, Milton and
Hobbies. When the parliament opened,
Dryden was a boy at the Westminster
school: the future author of "Pil-
grim's Progress" a lad of II. was
mending pots and kettles in Bedford
shire: and Locke, the future defender
of the emancipating principles that
now put on practical shape and power,
was a boy of eight. Newton was not
born until 1c4a, 4 couple of months
after the first clash of arms at Edge
hill.
In the early days of the rebellion,
the peers had work to do not any less
important than the commons, and for
a time. though they had zone of the
spirit of the old barons at Runny-
mede. they were in tolerable agree
ment with the views and temper of
the lower house. The temporal peers
were 123. and lords spiritual &c. of
whom. however, when the parliament
got really to business, no more than
IS remained. Alike in public spirit
and in attainments the average of the
house of lords was undoubtedly high.
Like other aristocracies in the seven
teenth century, the English mobiles
no friends to high-fying eccles-
pretensions, and. like other
they were not without
many je~alousies and grievances of
their w against the power of the
crown. Another remark is worth MAX
ing. Either history or knowledge of
nature might teach us that
great mobiles often take the popular
side without dropping the p%retensions
Of class in their hearts, and it is not
peevishness when the royal his
torian says that Lord Say and Sele
vas as proud of his quality and as
to be distinguished from
by his title as any man alive.
