Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter to the Right Honourable Charles Jenkinson Sir, The sphere in which you move, and the part which you take, in the government of this country, render any apology for this address totally unnecessary. The surprise, if it occasions any, should not be at the thing itself, but that public addresses to you have not been made before, and often. Men of less importance in the state, have been brought before the tribunal of the public, their conduct has been examined with freedom, and censured with spirit, for measures over which they have had less influence than you have over our public councils. How you have escaped, I shall not at present give myself much trouble to explain; though, were I to indulge in that theme, I should ascribe it to your early knowledge of the management of the press. If I mistake not, you were esteemed an useful typographical commis at the Oxfordshire election, in the year 1754; when you inked your virgin pen in support of the Whig interest. A dinner at the late Lord Harcourt´s second table, was not unusual. And when his Lordship and his friends had dined, you were sometimes called in; and from the conversation of the company, and being a young man of pliable notions, you received, with a never-failing bending acquiescence, those hints which you afterwards worked up for the press.
