Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Three Letters to the Right Hon. Edmund Burke: On the State of Public Affairs and Particularly on the Late Outrageous Attacks on His Pension if any proof, Sir, was wanting of your total want of prudence, that proof was most amply supplied, by the appearance of your late Letter to a noble Lord. No man endued with common prudence would, at your age, and after the events of your past life, have challenged a public discussion of his merits. No public man who had changed his party, as you have done; no man who had contradicted, denied, defamed his former self - no apostate who had pocketted the wages of inquiry, sold himself and his opinions - no man who had received, from a distressed and impoverished country, a pension, for the amount of which scarcely any merit or services could afford an apology; but which evidently far exceeds your merits, and ought to exceed your necessities - no prudent man, thus circumstanced, would have been anxious to publish to the world his shame and its reward - "And like some penurlous quack-salver, "Have fluck the bills up to his own disgrace."
