Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter to His Grace the Duke of Grafton: On the Present Situation of Public Affairs It is also true, my Lord, that a nation may be so circumstanced, that even a bad man, who never had an idea of any interests but his own, must be obliged, if he would act consistently with those interests, to assume the appearance of a more enlarged virtue. He must break through the dependance of party, and exert himself, upon more extensive principles, to preserve the public fortune from a ruin, in which his own would be involved. Your Grace´s situation gives you the best opportunity of knowing whether this country may yet be preserved by virtues of a second rate; or whether we have no resource left, but in one general united effort of pure disinterested patriotism, to save the state. Our condition, I hope, is not yet so desperate as to want such a proof of public virtue. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
