Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of Sir Philip Francis, K. C. B. With Correspondence and Journals, Vol. 1 of 2 Any Record of the Life of Sir Philip Francis must necessarily embrace the whole series of public events in England between the accession of George III. and his decease. Francis was born in 1740, two years after the King, and died on December 22, 1818, little more than a twelvemonth before him. ´I can hardly remember,´ he told his second wife, Lady Francis, ´when I did not write for the newspapers.´ The anonymous contributions to them on which his fame rests, and of which Mr. Parkes believed himself to have traced the authorship, commenced (under many names preceding that of Junius) at the very beginning of the reign. He took a strong party interest in the debates on the suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act, which occurred at its very close. And during the whole interval he was an active, eager, passionate politician. In the press, in office, in India, in Parliament, in the Whig clubs, in the Carlton House and Brighton coteries, in reforming ´societies,´ he mingled in every movement, and came in contact, friendly or hostile, with almost every statesman of those sixty years.
