Book Description
Excerpt from The Right Honourable Spencer Perceval It has been urged in the course of after-dinner oratory, that lawyers have risen to high places in politics under Democratic Government, but Spencer Perceval cannot be included among the number. There was no question of a Tory Democracy when "a champion of monarchical and ecclesiastical establishment" became First Lord of the Treasury; from the republican standpoint he was a reactionary, an upholder of Church and State, endowed with a tenacity of purpose that carried him from the Midland circuit, to the leadership of the Tory party.

The Assassination of the Prime Minister
Author: David C Hanrahan
Publisher: The History Press
ISBN: 0752478052
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
Only once in history has a British Prime Minister been assassinated. At 5.00 p.m. on Monday, 11 May 1812, John Bellingham made his way to the Houses of Parliament carrying concealed weapons. At 5.15 p.m., as the Prime Minister, the Rt Hon. Spencer Perceval, was making his way across the lobby leading to the House of Commons, Bellingham shot him dead at point-blank range. Bellingham was immediately arrested and put on trial two days later: refusing to plead insanity, he was convicted and hanged before the week was out. Bellingham was neither a revolutionary nor a religious fanatic, but a successful young entrepreneur. What had driven him to commit such a heinous crime? In a story of suspense, revenge and personal tragedy, David C. Hanrahan tells the interwoven stories of Perceval and Bellingham, detailing not just the events of May 1812, but also the two men's histories, and what led one to take the other's life.
