Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wilkes, Sheridan, Fox: The Opposition Under George the Third George the Third differed in some notable respects from his two immediate predecessors on the throne of Great Britain and Ireland. They were Germans by birth, whereas he was the first English-born king of the family chosen by Act of Parliament to reign over this country. They did not thoroughly understand any language but the German. His mother-tongue was English, which he spoke with bewildering fluency, and he was nearly as prolific, though not quite so clever a letter-writer as Horace Walpole. Their supreme enjoyments were hoarding money, caressing ill-favoured mistresses, and living in Hanover. He never visited Hanover; he never kept a mistress; though he lived frugally, yet he was not greedy of money, excepting for the purposes of corruption, the debts thus incurred during his reign amounting to three million, three hundred and ninety-eight thousand pounds. They submitted to the decisions of Parliament, and acted upon the advice of responsible ministers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
