With a collection of the genuine speeches made in Parliament, and the Arguments of the Council on the Habeas Corpus in the Courts of Exchequer and Common-Pleas. Also all the authentic addresses of the several wards, corporations, Grand Juries, &c. and the Answers of the Lord Mayor, Mr. Alderman Wilkes, and Mr. Alderman Oliver; With several Original Papers never before published.
