Why

3

The original unpopularity of the King, with the additional stock
laid in by the American war not being yet sufficient, in
1780 or thereabouts, the Whigs betook themselves to Parliamentary
Reform. Having dissipated his part of the "unaccounted
millions, starving for want of more of the public money, Charles Fox took a leading
part joint with Pitt, in this last thought of and desperate resource for
getting at it.

Pitt the second getting in, Fox the second was left
out. Pitt's reform ended in a remedy which would have
exasperated the disease: oppressing the country cramming the House with an additional
hundred of fox-hunting and coronet-hunting idlers.
Not a party in the country, scarcely an individual in the
country except the hundred knights and their near connections, to which
this reform would not have been worse than useless.

Thereupon came the Coalition. Whig Fox and Whig Burton gave the right
hand of fellowship to Tory North: Antony embraced Lepidus.
Now comes another Revolution in view: Aristocracy
ag. Now come on again the great cause, Aristocracy
against Monarchy. Aristocracy, a house divided against
itself could not stand. No James was at hand. George's
Wife had given him so many children, she had made him popular.
George triumphed. for For some time however
it had been a measuring cast. Passing not long after through
Germany, I visited his the Hanoverian palace. I found it
newly swept and garnished. How comes this? Sir, (said
the Major-domo) his Majesty had been was expected here.

No sooner had his Majesty lost his royal senses,
than his popularity became complete: no recovery could
shake it.
