The Comprehension Bill is forgotten.

No collector of antiquities has thought it worth preserving.

A single copy, the same which Nottingham presented to the peers, is still among our parliamentary records, but has been seen by only two or three persons now living.

It is a fortunate circumstance that, in this copy, almost the whole history of the Bill can be read.

In spite of cancellations and interlineations, the original words can easily be distinguished from those which were inserted in the committee or on the report.
