The election for Buckinghamshire in January 1604 was the cause of a dispute between the Crown and the House of Commons. Sir
John Fortescue, 1531-1607, Chancellor of the Exchequer, was defeated by Sir Francis Goodwin, whose election was declared void
on the ground that a judgment of outlawry had been passed against him. See also no. 2897.

Jefferson ordered a copy from
John Payne in a letter written from Paris on January 28, 1789. One of the copies in the Library of Congress has the three volumes bound in one (rebound
in blue buckram) and may be Jefferson’s copy.
Jefferson mentioned this book in connection with his own Parliamentary Manual in a letter to Mathew Carey written from Monticello
on January 27, 1812: “
. . . when I first printed it [
i.e. the Parliamentary Manual]
I had never seen Hatsell’s 3
d. volume. a subsequent perusal of that suggested the inclosed amendments . . .
”
John Hatsell, 1743-1820, was a clerk to the House of Commons. The first edition was published in 1781, and a fourth volume added to the
edition of 1796 and later editions.
