Popularne fragmenty
Strona 215 - Let us then unite to put an end to a system which has been proved to be the blight of commerce, the bane of agriculture, the source of bitter divisions among classes, the cause of penury, fever, mortality, and crime among the people.
Strona 7 - Do not you think that the tone of England — of that great compound of folly, weakness, prejudice, wrong feeling, right feeling, obstinacy, and newspaper paragraphs, which is called public opinion — is more liberal — to use an odious but intelligible phrase— than the policy of the Government...
Strona 233 - WILLIAM III. By HD TRAILL. SPECTA TOR.—" Mr. Traill has done his work well in the limited space at his command. The narrative portion is clear and vivacious, and his criticisms, although sometimes trenchant, are substantially just." WALPOLE. By JOHN MORLEY. ST. JAMES'S GAZETTE.—" It deserves to be read, not only as the work of one of the most prominent politicians of the day, but for its intrinsic merits.

But if the spirit of the Reform Bill implies merely a careful review of institutions, civil and ecclesiastical, undertaken in a friendly temper, combining, with the firm maintenance of established rights the correction of proved abuses and the redress of real grievances, in that case I can, for myself and colleagues, undertake to act in such a spirit and with such intentions.

Strona 140 - I offer you reduced estimates, improvements in civil jurisprudence, reform of ecclesiastical law, the settlement of the tithe question in Ireland, the commutation of tithe in England, the removal of any real abuse in the Church, the redress of those grievances of which the Dissenters have any just ground to complain. I offer you these specific measures and I offer also to advance, soberly and cautiously it is true, in the path of progressive improvement.
Strona 223 - ... they shall recruit their exhausted strength with abundant and untaxed food, the sweeter because it is no longer leavened by a sense of injustice.
Strona 85 - He would go still further and say that if at the present moment he had imposed upon him the duty of forming a Legislature for any country, and particularly for a country like this, in possession of great property of various descriptions...
Strona 7 - ... intelligible phrase— than the policy of the Government ? Do not you think that there is a feeling, becoming daily more general and more confirmed — that is, independent of the pressure of taxation, or any immediate cause — in favour of some undefined change in the mode of governing the country ? It seems to me a curious crisis — when public opinion never had such influence on public measures, and yet never was so dissatisfied with the share which it possessed. It is growing too large...
