Extract from the Examiner, Aug. 22, 1830.
"And yet in these instances we have the best that the
best men can do of the Patrician order." (Lord John Russell, Lord Milton,
Mr Brougham, & Lord Nugent). "And yet in these" A sickly
assent, a languid approbation, is all they can give to an action
that exalt humanity, and makes generous spirits
restless and uneasy under the mighty, the overpowering sense
of obligation. From these specimens of the feelings of the
most liberal of the order, we may infer the sentiments
of the meaner majority of the most noble class. They do
but think consistently and after the instinct of safety
belonging to their kind. Antagonist to the public interests, how
can they sympathize with the public feelings on an
occasion of public triumph? How long will these gaudy
insects be suffered to sting and taint our social system?
The Harpies of Virgil seem the express the types of the English
Aristocracy, rapaciously feasting on and obscenely fouling
the goods of the earth."
Spectator, Aug. 21, 1830
