Chapter III consists of “Miscellaneous Observations,” contrasts the

general deportment of the House of Lords with that of the House of

Commons, and rejoices that the art of cock-crowing is yet to be

learned by the Peers, and that their Lordships have as yet afforded no

evidence of possessing the enviable acquirement of braying like a

certain long-eared animal, yelping like a dog, or mewing like the

feline creation. It includes also some scandalous accounts of the

unconquerable somnolency of a certain Ministerial Duke, and a member

of the Right Reverend Bench of Bishops.
