Book Description

Excerpt from The Public and Private Life of Lord Chancellor Eldon, Vol. 3 of 3: With Selections From His Correspondence "I Write a scrap. Never mind the name 'scrap;' it serves the purpose as well as the more dignified term 'letter, ' to convey from those who affectionately love the person to whom it is addressed, what is best worthy of that person's acceptance, the tenderest and warmest feelings of cordial, heart-felt attachment: as such a scrap, receive this, as I have received yours of this day. "We have no news. The violence of the young members of the House of Commons, who are attached to the late Government, has done the ex-ministers, as I feared it would, some damage. John Bull don't like to see anybody too hard pressed; and his pity sometimes leads him to inclination, which his judgment would not have approved if commiseration had not been excited.
