Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Historical Memoirs of My Own Time, Vol. 3 of 3: Part the First, From 1772 to 1780; Part the Second, From January, 1781, to March, 1782; Part the Third, From March, 1782, to March, 1784 The younger Portion of Society scarcely remembered any other Minister than Lord North; and Lord Sandwich had presided nearly as long at the Head of the Admiralty. To the King, the former of those Noblemen was endeared by almost every personal Quality or Circumstance which could render him acceptable in the Closet, as well as useful in his public Capacity. More than twelve Years of almost daily Intercourse, amidst Scenes of perpetual Disquietude and Alarm, had cemented by the Effect of Habit, the other Motives for royal Predilection. It may indeed be reasonably doubted, whether even Lord Bute´s Resignation affected the Sovereign so deeply or so painfully, as Lord North´s Retreat. Mr. Grenville´s Administration was regarded by many Persons, as a Continuation of the preceding Ministry, under another Name; whereas in 1782, the King could only anticipate a complete Surrender. The Individuals, the Measures, the Reductions contemplated, accompanied with the total Renunciation of Sovereignty over the revolted Colonies; - all were alike odious, or disagreeable to the King.
