Chronological Index

This list presents the Acts of Parliament in chronological order, with references to regnal year, and page or chapter number, as recorded on the printed acts themselves. Through the reign of George II, acts are listed by the year in which the Parliamentary session ends; from George III on they are by specific date.

This list is designed solely for quick reference, with links into the subject lists when year/page (through George II) or date/number (George III on) of a desired act is known. As you look through the list, you will also see sample images of the acts showing how their formats changed over time.

Local and Personal Acts, and Private Acts are identified by "Cap." numbers in green.

To read the abbreviated abstract for any act listed below, please select its list name (some that cross subject boundaries may be found on more than one list). To browse the full list of acts available on a specific topic, please return to the Table of Contents, and visit the individual subject list.
