Strana 328 - Nations committed to his charge : This Monument Was erected by men, Who, differing in Race, in Manners, in Language, and in Religion, Cherish, with equal veneration and gratitude, The memory of his wise, upright, and Paternal Administration.
Strana 228 - That this House resolve itself into a committee of the whole House, in order to consider the present state of the church establishment in Ireland, with the view of applying any surplus of the revenues not required for the spiritual care of its members to the general education of all classes of the people, without distinction of religious persuasion.
Strana 356 - I have no hesitation in saying that I have been insulted — grossly and continually insulted — by that person ; but I am determined to endure no longer a course of behaviour so disrespectful to me. Amongst many other things, I have particularly to complain of the manner in which that young lady has been kept away from my Court ; she has been repeatedly kept from my drawing-rooms, at which she ought always to have been present ; but I am fully resolved that this shall not happen again. I would...
Strana 328 - Empire, never laid aside The simplicity and moderation of a private citizen: Who infused into Oriental despotism the spirit of British Freedom: Who never forgot that the end of Government is The...
Strana 358 - Princess had gone down to stay at Windsor for the King's birthday party, and the King himself, who was in London for the day to...
Strana 128 - As soon as we got into the carriage he asked me if I thought it was true that Talleyrand had taken such offence at Palmerston that he would not return here on that account, and if I knew what it was that had affronted him, whether any deficiency in diplomatic punctilio or general offensiveness of manner.

Strana 356 - He terminated his speech by an allusion to the princess and her future reign in a tone of paternal interest and affection, which was excellent in its way. This awful philippic (with a great deal more which I forget) was uttered with a loud voice and excited manner. The queen looked in deep distress, the princess burst into tears, and the whole company were aghast. The Duchess of Kent said not a word. Immediately after they rose and retired, and a terrible scene ensued ; the duchess announced her...
Strana 356 - Crown, and not in the hands of a person now near me, who is surrounded by evil advisers, and who is herself incompetent to act with propriety in the station in which she would be placed.
Strana 392 - William IV. was a man who, coming to the throne at the mature age of sixtyfive, was so excited by the exaltation, that he nearly went mad, and distinguished himself by a thousand extravagances of language and conduct, to the alarm or amusement of all who witnessed his strange freaks ; and though he was shortly afterward sobered down into more becoming habits, he always continued to be something of a blackguard and something more of a buffoon.
Strana 339 - Melbourne's trial ;1 great exultation at the result on the part of his political adherents, great disappointment on that of the mob of Low Tories, and a creditable satisfaction among the better sort ; it was in point of fact a very triumphant acquittal. The wonder is how with such a case Norton's family ventured into court, but (although it is stoutly denied) there can be no doubt that old Wynford was at the bottom of it all, and persuaded Lord Grantley to urge it on for mere political purposes.
