I Beg to lay before your Lordship and our Society a few short Remarks upon the early history of Lord Lieutenants of Counties, introductory to two sets of Instructions granted to the same nobleman, first in the reign of King Philip and Queen Mary, and, secondly, by Queen Elizabeth, showing a gradual and sensible improvement in the details of the lieutenancies, as carried out by the latter queen.
