Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 37 The memory of the late Lord Holland is dear to us as the nephew of Fox and the zealous and consistent advocate of the rights of Catholics in the most bigoted times and under the most disheartening circumstances. He was, moreover, a kind and generous man, bountiful to a proverb, and if not the sun, at least the centre around which wit and genius revolved in Holland House. Often and truly have many who were poor in this worlds gifts, but rich in genius, said to him with grateful hearts: O et præsidium ei inlce decus meum. Though neither a great statesman nor a great orator, he was not despicable in either capacity, and especially in the latter he possessed not a little of the traditionary quickness of his house in "reply." In "statement" his oratory never surpassed and sometimes scarcely attained to mediocrity. Nor should it be forgotten that the exiled of other lands who had often nothing but their misfortunes to recommend them, found in Lord Holland a generous protector. It is not strange, therefore, that we have felt great reluctance in expressing our opinion of Lord Holland´s works when truth and justice alike compel us to condemn them. In this spirit we allowed his "Foreign Reminiscences" to pass without notice, because that volume contained many things of which we could not have spoken but with the strongest reprobation.
