Strana 83 - University, and their character generally. ' " Who and what were the Dissenters ? Many of them differed but little, except in one or two points, from the Established Church ; others of them did not agree with the Church of England in any respect ; others denied the Trinity, and others were Atheists. Would it be desirable to place SUCH persons in a situation to inflict injury on the Established Church ?" '—Speech of the Duke of Wellington, April 20.

Strana 22 - Spencer was in 21 the way ! The untimely decease of that nobleman has altered the whole face of affairs. The people were not quite contented with the Whigs, because they did not go far enough ; but then — Lord Spencer was alive ! The people now will be satisfied with the Tories, because they do not go so far, for — Lord Spencer is dead !
