This is especially the case as regards a Minister like Sir Robert Peel, who was obliged at several critical periods to abandon his cherished political convictions, and to adopt a policy subversive of the fundamental ideas of his party. Charged by his former friends with inconsistency and dissimulation, this distinguished political leader falls back upon posterity for his vindication. In tracing the history of his singularly interesting and remarkable career, we shall endeavour to indicate, through the medium of his acts and speeches, assisted by his posthumous Memoirs, those grounds of justification by which alone his radical changes of policy can be reconciled and elucidated. There is much in the character and life of Peel to command the admiration and sympathy of men of all shades of political opinion; and, impressed by that feeling, it will be our object to divest this biographical record of party passion. We instinctively speak of this eminent statesman as a great party leader, and yet the elements of his greatness were not such as we usually associate with that epithet. Genius was lacking in him, and his greatness was built up of almost commonplace materials.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This insightful biography details the remarkable life and political career of Sir Robert Peel, a prominent British statesman who held various critical roles during a transformative period in British history marked by domestic reforms and international conflict. As a close ally of Prime Minister Lord Liverpool, Peel's sharp intellect and dedication to his work enabled him to rise through the ranks, playing a leading role in Ireland as Chief Secretary, where he implemented the controversial but ultimately influential Irish Constabulary Force. He also chaired the Committee on Currency, resulting in the resumption of cash payments in England, a fundamental reform that stabilized the nation's monetary system. The book delves into Peel's evolving views on Catholic Emancipation, a complex issue that tested his political principles and ultimately shaped his legacy. This biography offers a comprehensive account of Peel's impact on British society and politics, providing valuable insights into the evolution of the nation during the early 19th century.
