Synopsis
Excerpt from The Metropolitan, Vol. 3: A Monthly Journal of Literature, Science, and the Fine Arts; January to April, 1832
Sm charles, thrice dear to that party whom Newcastle, Kenyon, and Londonderry delight to honour, is at once furious and frolicsome, a player of tragedy and comedy in one breath, duly tinctured with those narrow-minded prejudices, Opinions, and pernicious principles of govern ment, which constitute, as it were, the very cognizance and livery of his faded party, - he is, too, its most conspicuous and renowned champion. Whenever the lunatics of the world (considering the interests of the se cred tribe to render requisite the measure) shall resolve to stock a tyrant setting up in business, they may constitute a not nncongenial addi tion to his household in the worthy knight. But the ruler upon his principles who governs men that know their rights, and knowing dare maintain, who should choose to treat himself with such an agent to act upon them, would soon hear the roar of revolt from end to end of his dominions. What sorrow would a prince prepare for himself, who yielded himself up to the councils of a temper so insane, and ventured to rate his own security by a proud defiance of the public voice 1 It was when the doctrine of prerogative, which Sir Charles maintains to the letter, was at its height, that the unhappy Charles I. Stepped from his palace to the scaffold. They were such councils that encouraged Louis XVI. In his vacillation and insincerity, which no subsequent concessions were found suflicient to cancel, for which no degree of abasement before the vilest and lowest of his subjects was suficient to urchase his security and he fell the victim to errors not his own. Appily for this party, it is powerless and insignificant; to which state its members will owe it that they have not, in the present crisis, been overwhelmed by their indiscre tion.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of Sir Charles Wetherell, a prominent figure in early 19th-century British politics. As a fervent supporter of the Tory party and its principles, Wetherell emerges as a captivating character, known for his passionate speeches and controversial views. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of Wetherell's parliamentary career, exploring his role in shaping the political landscape of the time, particularly in his staunch opposition to the Reform Act of 1832. Beyond his political endeavors, the book sheds light on Wetherell's unique oratorical style, characterized by its verbosity and pedantry, which often made him a target of both admiration and ridicule. Through meticulous research and insightful observations, this book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of the complexities of British politics during a period of significant change and upheaval. The author's examination of Wetherell's life and legacy provides a fresh perspective on the interplay between political ideology, personal ambition, and the broader social and historical forces that shaped the era.
