Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Is All We Want Worth a Civil War?: Or, Conciliatory Thoughts Upon the Present Crisis He deprived it of some of its fangs. The Herculean strength of Junius succeeded: but the noxious animal retired rather enraged than injured. These attempts of two champions excited the applause of the people, who as yet knew not that liberty and whiggism are far from being synonymous words. A change of Ministry was in those dark times sufficient to appease the clamours of the nation; nor was it yet open to the public apprehension that all ministers are composed of tories when in power, and whigs when in opposition; that a change of men thus produces no change of measures, and that the national treasures are only exposed to greater rapacity from a succession of new masters, like the wounded fox and the flies in the fable. The American war forms the most important event which has yet occurred during the present reign. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
