About This Item
Luke Hansard, Printer. 1806. 4to, 51,[1]pp. 3 Vols., bound in one, some light foxing and browning, cont. half calf, rubbed, hinges cracked, spine defective. Political pamphlets, providing a table of each Oxford college, its members, and their votes for the prospective candidates to be the University's MP. For the first item there are four candidates - Roger Newdigate, George Hay, Francis Page, and Charles Jenkinson - are arranged in columns down one side of the page, whilst each college member (classified as scholar, fellow, student, chaplain, and so on) is listed on the left. Curiously, it appears that each member gets two votes, though some only use one. Each college is tallied, and the final result is at the end (Sir Roger Newdigate appears to have been elected).
