Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from A Political Mirror, or a Summary Review of the Present Reign: With Notes, Explanatory and Historical, and an Authentic List of the Ships and Vessels of War, Taken and Destroyed, Since the Commencement of Hostilities It would be difficult to decide, a century hence, how a nation, great in arms and in reputation, could have fallen, in the course of a very few years, from the zenith of human grandeur to a state of poverty, contempt, and imbecility, if the invention of letters had not enabled mankind to transmit to future generations the measures of princes and of ministers, and to examine, without reserve, into the motives of their conduct. It is to the fidelity of history, that we are often indebted for the moderation we meet with from bad men invested with authority; and if the dread of being expose to after times has operated as a check to tyranny and lawless ambition, we have only to lament that it has not been of equal efficacy in all nations and in all ages of the world.
