The Speech of Lord Erskine in the House of Lords, the 8th of March, 1808, on Moving Resolutions Against the Legality of the Orders in Council (1808) is a historical document written by Thomas Erskine. In this book, Erskine delivers a speech in the House of Lords on March 8th, 1808, in which he moves resolutions against the legality of the Orders in Council. The Orders in Council were a series of decrees issued by the British government during the Napoleonic Wars, which restricted trade between Britain and other countries, particularly France. Erskine argues that these orders are illegal and unconstitutional, and that they are causing great harm to British trade and commerce. He also criticizes the government for its handling of the war and its failure to find a peaceful solution to the conflict. This book provides a fascinating insight into the political and economic climate of the time, as well as the legal arguments surrounding the Orders in Council. It is an important historical document for anyone interested in the history of the Napoleonic Wars, British politics, or international trade.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
