Education of the People
The W.R. had at Mr.Broughams
request a long laudatory
article-& the very tone
was given to it that
M.B. desired in a letter
to Baldwin. I added
several pages for that
purpose
—
I have had in any
applications to allow
the W.R. to be the
channel for attracting
the second number of
the Library of Useful
knowledge - & through
that number, Mr
B himself, but I
have always refused

Dissenters
The original cause
of the distrust of the
Dissenters was Mr
Brougham's project
for putting the Education
of the people
into the hands of the
Church of England
parsons.
—
The real state of the
Dissenters is not known
to W.B. He knows
them through Mr.
Shepherd of Liverpool
who does not know
them - & through
Mr W.Smith who does
not possess the confidence
of the body, in consequence
of the amiable
weakness which has
always deferred the
Dissenting questions
to the wishes of Tories
& Whigs in turn. So
far as the Unitarian
Deputation is concerned
we were directed by
our constituents to
urge the matter foresaid
on a late occasion
& have incurred the thanks
of the body for the
part we took.

Grounds of political distrust
W.B opposed Hume's
motion for the repeal
of the Six
Acts.
W.B. opposed M.A.
Taylor's motion for
a reform of the abuses
of the Chancery Court

Time Serving
There has been no
laud of ministers in
the W.R. except for
specific acts - thus
liberalizing the
commercial system
& their beginning
law reforms great
laud has been promised
them if they would
repeal the Corn Laws -
diminish the expenditure
& go forward
with Judicial improvements,
- but no more
than promise has been
given.
—
On many occasions
the Whigs have been
praised - & assuredly
they shall have every
encouragement that
praise can give them
for proceeding in the
path of reform

London University
My attempts were to
diffuse new Democracyactivity
into the council more
frequently than was
originally provided
for,- the introduction
of new members & the
exit of old ones.
To make attendance
a sine qua non of
re-eligibility. Mr.
Tooke stated the all
the members of the
Council had constantly
attended - that they
would continue to
attend regularly was
contrary to all
experience - if the
fact may now be
appealed to whether
they have attended.
All other aptitude
is nullified by absence.
—
Why not throw out some
of the Saints who are doing
so much mischief?
—
Hume complains that
Members of the Council
who do not attend are
brought down when a
particular question is to
be carried?

Whigs
They would not
support the Unitarian
petition in favour
of free discussion
—
They have treated the
advocates for the Ballot
with invariable scorn
and contempt
—
Consenting to &
desiring the pensioning
of the Irish Catholic
Clergy

Why not universal

Architects for the
