This section of the website is currently in progress. In time, it is planned to provide articles on each Parliament from the thirteenth century to the present day.

Most of these articles are being specially written for the website, and are intended to provide a brief introduction to the events and legislation of each Parliament to complement the History's articles on constituencies and Members.

These are the most recent volumes in the History of Parliament series to be available on The History of Parliament Online. They provide the most comprehensive study ever compiled on Parliament between 1820 and 1832, the period of Catholic Emancipation, the trial of Queen Caroline, the pursuit of ‘Old Corruption’ and the Great Reform Act, when the United Kingdom came as close to revolution as it has been in modern times, and began its long transition to democracy.

Between 1790 and 1801 the House of Commons consisted of 558 Members elected by 314 constituencies. The 245 English constituencies (40 counties, 203 boroughs, 2 universities) returned 489 Members; the 24 Welsh constituencies and 45 Scottish constituencies returned one Member each. In 1801 the addition of 100 Irish Members elected by 66 constituencies made an Imperial Parliament of 658 Members.

The volumes covering 1754-1790 were the first of the History of Parliament's sets to be published. They were compiled under the editorship of Sir Lewis Namier, who wrote a substantial number of the biographies and constituency surveys, although Namier died before he could begin serious work on the survey, and that task was completed by his former research assistant John Brooke.

Between 1715 and 1754 the House of Commons consisted of 558 Members, elected by 314 constituencies. The 245 English constituencies (40 counties, 203 boroughs, 2 universities) returned 489 Members; the 24 Welsh constituencies and 45 Scottish constituencies returned one Member each. The constituencies and contested elections are listed in a section in the Introductory Survey.

Between 1690 and 1707 the House of Commons consisted of 513 Members, elected by 245 English constituencies (40 counties, 203 boroughs, 2 universities) which returned 489 Members and 24 Welsh constituencies which returned one Member each. The constituencies and contested elections are listed in a section in D.W. Hayton's Introductory Survey.
