Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lives of the Lord Chancellors and Keepers of the Great Seal of England, Vol. 7: From the Earliest Times Till the Reign of King George IV Happily for myself and my readers, I approach the termination of my biographical labours - - "nos immensum spatiis confecimus æquor; Et jam tempus equum fumantia solvere colla." Only one deceased Chancellor remains to be recorded by me. I began with Augmendus, who in the seventh century was Chancellor to Ethelbert, the first Christian Anglo-Saxon king, and I have to finish with John Scott, Lord Eldon, who was Chancellor to George III. and George IV., and, having struggled to return to power under William IV., died in the reign of Queen Victoria. I am now appalled by the difficulty of knowing too well The subject of my memoir, and by the consideration that it is to be read by surviving partisans and attached relatives of this great man. I often practised before him, and I was honoured with some notice from him in private; - but, unluckily, I took an interest in political strife during a large portion of the period during which he occupied the wool-sack, almost uniformly disapproving of his principles; - and I afterwards actually held office under an Administration to whose measures he was violently opposed.
