Description
Excerpt from The Letters of a Conservative: In Which Are Shown the Only Means of Saving What Is Left of the Church, Addrest to Lord Melbourne
It is known to many distinguished men, literary and political, of both parties, that I have long been occupied in writing a work, which I thought to entitle The Letters of a Conservative. In these I attempted to trace and to expose the faults and fallacies of every administration, from the beginning of the year one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five. I was born at the opening of that year; and many have been my opportunities of conversing, at home and abroad, with those who partook in the events that followed it. On looking over the large quantity of materials I had collected, and of the papers I had composed out of them, I found, among the latest, no mild reprehension of some living statesmen. This followed as the corollary of their recorded words and actions. But the mischief they did is now in part removed, though not by them nor indeed with their consent; and the exposure of it could only serve for the indulgence of ill-humour and the excitement of malignity.
