The Legislature and Officers of the Houses of Parliament
The facile character of Thackeray's pencil was remarkable; the numerous sketches he left, and which in all probability, from the circumstances of their ownership, will never in our day gratify a public who would appreciate their publication, attest his versatile industry. No subject came amiss to his hand; the most unsuggestive works were to him rich in opportunities for whimsical parody.
The House of Commons
Reduction of the National Debt.—Office, Old Jewry
The Commissioners were originally appointed under the Statute of 26 Geo. III. c. i. In that year a more active scheme was proposed for the diminution of the National Debt, by the appropriation of one million per annum to the Sinking Fund, and the moneys devoted to this end were vested in the Commissioners, and placed under their management.
