Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sairburn´s Genuine Edition of the Suppressed Letter to the Right Honourable George Canning: To Which Are Added Mr. Canning´s Letter to the Author; The Author´s Reply Sir, I shall address you without ceremony, for you are deserving of none. There is nothing in your station, in your abilities, or in your character, which entitles you to respect. The first is generally the reward of political, and frequently of private crime. Your talents, such as they are, you have abused; and as for your character, I know not an individual of any party, or in any class of society, who does not consider the defence of it a paradox too outrageous and untenable even for the profligate indifference of these candid, complying times. Between the shrugs and smiles of your associates, and the frowns of your honest country-men, you fall to the ground. Low as public principle has sunk you are still justly appreciated; and no one is deceived by qualities, which, even in their happiest exertion, are not calculated or employed to conciliate his esteem. Think you, that the good-natured greedy spectators, who suffered themselves to be tickled by the tricks, were seduced into one emotion of regard for the person of their mountebank? Not a jot; though that mountebank was a Minister. It was not, I confess, sufficiently present to their reflections, that the same grimaces had been employed to distract their attention while the confederate thieves were picking their pockets; nor did they appear to understand that the same exhibition was now played off to cheat them of more than their pecuniary property: but you were still not forgotten for a moment; your jingling, and chattering, and balancing, were all inimitably performed, and admirably becoming; perhaps some of the younger senators, transported by low ambition, envied one instant, your cap and bells; but neither young nor old envied yourself.
