This much from Mr Hardy and Mr Plowden: Mr Hardy a Whig but what may be called a bitterment
kind of Whig — a Whig whose affections as far as
party would allow same to have leant towards the side
of the people: Mr Plowden whose bent towards that
side seem to have been still more decided.
Anxious to avoid not merely the reproach but the blame
of misrepresentation and injustice, I looked out for
for a further picture of these same transactions drawn
in colours as opposite as could be found. I looked
out for some historian to in whose eyes whatever vaster
was in every shape excellent and amiable was is the inseparable appendage
of established power, and to whom the re
religion the whole body of his fellow creatures with the exception
of the ruling few are object of undisguised hatred and
contempt. I looked r out in a word for one some of the
most declared worshippers of despotism and arbitrary power, and
I found it it was in Mr Adolphus's History of the present
reign that as it seemed to me. I found it.
The affections The political affections thus expressed in Mr Hardy's work being,
as it seemed of the as far as Whiggism would admitt, in favour of the
people, there in Mr Plowden's still more unreservedly on so
that side favour of the people, to avoid for better security against
misrepresentation through partiality, I looked at have been
in the last account for among the histories of the times for
for the strongest most derided learnings on the opposite side. [+] [+] to judge at least
from the following
extracts that were
to be found [+] To this design I could then hear of none more suitable than Mr Adolphus's history works intituled History
of the reign of George the third In the following extracts may
be seen all that it affords in relation to this subject.
Mr Adolphus's History
of England from the accession
of George the third to
the peace of 1783 is the
work to which in that view
I have been directed.
