Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Dutiful Address to the Throne: Upon the Present State of Great Britain The Ears of Princes, like those of great Beauties, are seldom blessed with the Harmony of Truth. Flattery is the Language of the Court, as well as the Dressing-Room: which like a false Mirror held up to our View, conceals all Deformities; and, if Charms there be, heightens every Charm. Some Monarchs, like Epicurus´s Gods, a Species of themselves, sit enveloped in their own Greatness; "Natura procul a nostris Rebus fejunctaque longe." Whilst others, to whom every Avenue is blocked up with Minions and Court-Sycophants, are continually abused with Misrepresentations of Facts and false Surmises; highly prejudicial both to themselves and People. But such is the Happiness of a British Constitution, that a Prince of this Realm Labours not under such Difficulties.
