Excerpt from The Tribune, Vol. 33: Independence Day Orations, July 4, 1876 They had done no more; though they had not elected another King in place of him whom they renounced. They had taken no step so far in advance of the then existing English Constitution as these which the Parlia ment of 1640 took in advance'of the previous Parliaments which Charles had dissolved.
