LORD CHATHAM'S SPEECH ON THE AMERICAN STAMP ACT.

Mr. Editor,—The following is an extract from Lord Brougham's Character of Chatham, vol. i. p. 27.

"The Debates on the American Stamp Act in 1764 are the first that can be said to have been preserved at all, through the happy accident of Lord Charlemont, assisted by Sir Robert Dean, &c. &c., and accordingly they have handed down to us some Notes of Lord Chatham's celebrated Speech upon that Question"

Can any of your readers inform me where these "Notes" of this "celebrated speech" are to be found?

D.
