Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Who Are Whigs? And Who Are Tories? When once a certain meaning has been attached to any term, we are always apt to incline towards that construction, and to strain the expression to bear our own interpretation. And this adaptation, whether right or wrong, being once made, is soon confirmed by the habitual prejudice of opinion. Upon no topic is this force of habit more remarkable than upon politics, and upon no subject has the bias of party feeling, or the force of prejudice more influence in warping the mind from a correct judgment. In reading the political history of Great Britain, therefore, as nothing is more difficult to attain than impartiality, so nothing is more important to enable us fairly to decide upon the past, and to derive a true lesson for the future, than to keep ever clearly and distinctly in view the public measures adopted, without regarding the names which particular parties bore at particular periods.
