Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Collected Papers Historical, Literary, Travel and Miscellaneous, Vol. 2 Sensitive minds have frequently been distressed by the fact that political necessity, real or supposed, is wont to exercise an overruling influence upon the course of legislation, and that the genesis of measures which have indisputably proved beneficent in their results is at times a less attractive study than those results themselves. The history of the Union between England and Scotland, which appropriately occupies considerable space in Mr Burton´s work, forms a case in point. It is, indeed, burdened by no such unrighteous reminiscences as those attaching to the history of another Union, achieved about a century later. Mr Burton is able to appeal to previous investigations of his own, which his predecessor. Lord Stanhope, has acknowledged to be satisfactory, as having completely refuted the "odious suspicions" of corruption that for a time hung round the transactions of the year 1706.
