Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Reign of George III, Vol. 3 of 3: To Which Is Prefixed, a View of the Progressive Improvement of England, in Prosperity and Strength, to the Accession of His Majesty The king, having called together the parliament on the 29th of October, announced, in his speech from the throne, that the important negotiations in which he was engaged at the close of the former session, had been brought to a favourable conclusion. The differences with the northern powers had been adjusted, by a convention with the emperor of Russia, to which the kings of Denmark and Sweden had expressed their readiness to accede. By this convention the essential rights for which Great Britain had contended were secured; and provision was made that the exercise of them should be attended with as little molestation as possible to the subjects of the contending parties. Preliminaries of peace had also been ratified between his majesty and the French republic, and he trusted that this arrangement, while it manifested the justice and moderation of his views, would be found conducive to the substantial interests of this country, and honourable to the British character. After expressing his heartfelt gratitude to Divine Providence for the blessing of a plentiful harvest, and applauding the temper and fortitude manifested by the nation, under a complication of difficulties, he acknowledged in the warmest terms the eminent services performed by the navy and army, particularly in the expulsion of the French from Egypt. The conclusion of this speech deserves to be recorded; because, while it does honour to the paternal feelings of the sovereign, it contains the avowal of a sacred principle, which no monarch of Great Britain, worthy of the title, can willingly consent to abandon. "It is my first wish and most fervent prayer, that my people may experience the reward they have so well merited, in a full enjoyment of the blessings of peace, in a progressive increase of the national commerce, credit, and resources, and above all, in the undisturbed possession of their religion, laws, and liberties, under the safe-guard and protection of that constitution which it has been the great object of all our efforts to preserve, and which it is our most sacred duty to transmit unimpaired to our descendants."
