This feeling has influenced every action of his life in relation to his government from that moment ; and I believe to more than one of us he avowed that his objection to Mr. Canning was that his accession to the government was peculiarly desirable to you. Nothing can be more unjust, or more unfair, than this feeling ; and as there is not one of your colleagues who did not highly approve of what you did respecting...
Page 292 - And barren salt be sown on yon proud city. As on our olive-crowned hill we stand, Where Kedron at our feet its scanty waters Distils from stone to stone with gentle motion, As through a valley sacred to sweet peace, How boldly doth it front us ! how majestically !
