Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Junius, Lord Chatham: A Biography, Setting Forth the Condition of English Politics, Preceding and Contemporary With the Revolutionary Junian Period, and Showing That the Greatest Orator and Statesman Was Also the Greatest Epistolary Writer of His Age The historic reader is struck - or should be - with the facts that Lord Chatham is represented as in some degree out of his senses - full of a certain perversity, secret, evasive, scowling, and implacable - during a portion of his career; and that the period of his strange, unexplained lunacy was the very period of the Junian epistles. In the earlier part of the lustrum, 1767-1772, the great baffled minister was doing something under a cloud, and behind a curtain; and Junius, at the same time, in all his fortitudes, girding at the king, lords, and commons of England. A remarkable coincidence; but not sufficiently remarked, we suspect, by those who meditate that Epistolary Sphinx of the last age.
