Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lady Palmerston and Her Times, Vol. 1 of 2 The letters which are published for the first time in this volume formed part of the voluminous correspondence between Lord Beauvale and his sister Lady Cowper, who became later the wife of Lord Palmerston. The writers were the son and daughter of Elizabeth, Lady Melbourne, whose own letters were published in a former volume. The new letters give a picture of Europe in the same state of transition as that in which we ourselves live. We, the puppets of 1922, can compare the daily, nay hourly, events of our own passing times with those which changed the world after the more prolonged but less devastating wars of the Napoleonic Era. The same cries of despair from the poor as bad harvests succeeded one another, the same bitter complaints of the so-called rich at the burden of destructive taxation, were heard as we hear them now. In Ireland, the green land whence St. Patrick cast forth all the venomous beasts save one, the dragon of discontent still menaces the peace of Great Britain. The circumstances are the same, though the times and the men and their methods of dealing with the problems of government are changed.
