Book Description
Excerpt from A Letter the Right Honourable William Windham, on the Intemperance and Dangerous Tendency of His Public Conduct My purpose in this public address is not to write a libel, or to display my talents for satire. It has a more worthy meamngi It is to warn you and the nation against the effervescence of your passions. The intemperance of public men is tremendously awfulatall times; but, when it plunges millions into all the miseries of war, it rises into inxexpressible horror. 'it is strange that, from real benevolence of intention, the mischiefs which'fable ascribes to fiends should be the re sult yet this apparent paradox has, of late, been too repeatedly and too woefully proved. You, Sir, and that extrordinary man, Mr. Burke, whose kind but erroneous heart, whose splendid but ill employed talent-s, have led you astray, are among the examples.

Debating England's Aristocracy in the 1790s
Author: Amanda GoodrichPublisher: Boydell & Brewer Ltd
ISBN: 9780861932757
Category : Aristocracy (Social class)
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
The 1790s saw a lively `French Revolution Debate' in England, with much space and intellectual energy, in classic texts by men such as Burke and Paine, and ensuing pamphlet literature, devoted characterisations and representations of the aristocracy; yet this is the first full-scale survey of the subject. Dr Goodrich takes a fresh approach to the topic, illustrating the complexities of the bitter battle fought out in such texts between radicals and loyalists, and highlighting the persistent viciousness and vitriol of a radical anti-aristocratic rhetoric. However, she demonstrates that the loyalist response contained the more innovative campaign, bringing out in particular the development of a commercial loyalism which promoted a new model of society with a modern aristocracy and an open elite; what emerges are English defences of aristocracy which are not simply reducible to ideas of an ancien régime or a Gothic institution.
