Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Administration of the Right Honourable Henry Pelham, Vol. 1 of 2: Collected From the Family Papers, and Other Authentic Documents I submit this Work to the Public, with extreme diffidence, as it was composed under the increasing infirmities of age, and a total defect of sight. Sensible of these disadvantages, I considered my literary career as terminated, by the "Memoirs of the Duke of Shrewsbury;" and therefore I deem it necessary to state the motives which prompted me, at so late a period of life, to resume my favourite pursuits. Soon after completing the "Memoirs of the Life and Administration of Sir Robert Walpole," I conceived the design of tracing, in a sequel to that work, the revolutions of the cabinet, and the struggles of parties, during the ministry of Mr. Pei.iiam. In this view I was encouraged, by the communication of numerous documents from various collections, particularly from the papers of Horatio, first Lord Walpole, who long continued on the most intimate terms with Mr. Pelham; and also from those of Lord Hardwicke, who filled the important post of Chancellor, from 1730 to 1756. By these and other aids, I hoped that I should be enabled to elucidate a period of our History, comparatively little known.
