Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Considerations on the Present Dangerous Crisis With whatever specious pretences the art of party may veil its ambitious designs, experience abundantly evinces, that interest and resentment are the ruling motives which actuate the competitors. However they pretend to differ in principle, yet, when in power, they agree in pursuing the same corrupt and ruinous measures. We may learn from the recent example of two learned bodies, that they can even change their style with their fortunes; and that the one can, with wonderful facility, adopt the language of the other. As parties therefore, they would not be worth a moment´s attention, did they not obstruct and injure public welfare, by their mutual struggles to mount the airy pinnacle of promotion. Nevertheless, when we reflect how much the nation suffers, how much the crown is distressed, by their fatal altercations, then we can no longer remain unconcerned spectators; nor neglect that duty, to which our amiable Sovereign has condescended to invite every honest man. At the close of a glorious and successful war, who did not hope that the government would be studious to cultivate the blessings of peace? That they would endeavour to alleviate the heavy burthens which oppress the public; to improve the police of the Kingdom; and promote the prosperity of the people?
