Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Edinburgh Annual Register, for 1816, Vol. 9: Part I. And II The peace of Europe being once again established, and the attention of speculative, as well as of active men among us being released, in some measure, from the contemplation of external affairs, the opening of parliament was this year expected by the people of England with a well-grounded confidence, that the wisdom of the legislative bodies would be immediately directed to the repair and alleviation of those dilapidations and distresses which had been inflicted upon the revenue, and upon a very large part of the population of the empire, in consequence of the unequalled exertions to which our country had been so long exposed. Deliberations of such a nature, begun during the last session, had been at once forgotten and dismissed in the tumult of that momentary and almost miraculous revolution, which had expelled the French king from the throne to which he had so lately been restored, and replaced, amidst the combustible mate- rials of a too military nation, that firebrand which had before been plucked from its position by the united strength of Russia, Germany and England. The people were prepared to congratulate the government, by the mouths of their representatives, upon the happy termination, to which a just, because a necessary, war had in so brief a space been conducted; but they were chiefly anxious to see the parliament re-assembled, by reason of the hopes which they built on the issue of those interrupted investigations, which had for their object the improvement of our domestic revenue and polity - more particularly, the re-lief of those daises of the community, to whose share, as was universally felt and regretted, an unequal pressure of the national burden had fallen. That the public expectation was not disappointed, will be seen in the history of the busy and laborious session which ensued.
