Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Lamartine, Vol. 2 Short as was to be this first Ministry of Thiers (February 22 to September 6, 1836), it established the reputation of the statesman who was to play so preponderant a rôle in the destinies of his country thirty-four years later. During the few months of the parliamentary session Lamartine, although refraining from purely political debate, found himself in frequent conflict with the Thiers Administration on questions of economic legislation as well as the conduct of the Cabinet´s foreign policy in the East. Although embodying anti-protectionist theories since accepted as sound principles of trade economics, the speech on the liberty of commerce which Lamartine delivered on April 14 gives small evidence of a comprehensive grasp or appreciation of the fundamental basis of the industrial issues; while the flights of more or less utopian rhetoric seriously detract from the value of the truths he enunciated. Interruptions were frequent, some of a personal character, amongst others that of M. Jaubert, who reproached the speaker with having facilitated the investigations of an English free-trader whom the British Government had sent across the Channel to preach commercial reform - Mr. Bowring. The attack was certainly unwarranted, for Mr. Bowring, as Lamartine explained, had undertaken his mission as much in the interests of France as of his own country.
