Letter XII on the House of Keys, Manx law, estates, and constitutional governance (1798)
Source
The twelfth letter in a series of observations on Isle of Man governance, law, and society, dated 1798. Provides detailed information on the House of Keys' composition and privileges, historical development of Manx property law (particularly the 1703 Act of Settlement), local statutes and customs, the Tynwald Hill ceremonial process, legal fees, and a comprehensive survey of principal estates across all parishes. Highly relevant to understanding Manx constitutional structures and property rights before the 1765 Revestment's aftermath.
