Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of George, Vol. 2 of 2: Fourth Earl of Aberdeen "They grew in beauty side by side, They filled one home with glee. And parted thus they rest who played Beneath the same green tree, Whose voices mingled as they prayed Around one parent knee." Hemans. In the chapter that dealt with the Foreign Office, no allusion was made to the home policy during these years. Lord Aberdeen´s interest was by tradition and by official work almost always concentrated on the foreign policy of the Government of which he was a member. Two great measures were passed through Parliament by the Wellington Government, and both of them had his warmest sympathy. The Repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts was in entire accord with his tolerant views, and he had advocated for long the removal of the Roman Catholic disabilities. He was in a different position from some of his colleagues, having nothing to recant and no pledges to violate. The Duke of Wellington and Sir Robert Peel had changed their views, and, though they did not attain to his outlook, still it gave him unmixed pleasure that he could work cordially with them. On the question of Reform he held moderate views. He did not wish to dissociate himself from his party, and he was not in sympathy with the extreme reformers. He remembered the early school in which he was reared, and often repeated that Pitt had been convinced there must be considerable reforms made in Parliamentary representation.
