The New Whig Guide (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from The New Whig Guide

Political pasquinades and political carica tures are parts (though humble ones) of poli tical history; they supply information as to the personal habits and manners, and often as to the motives and objects of public men, which cannot be found elsewhere.

It is true that the portraits are for the most part exaggerated and unfavourable, but there is stilla general resemblance; and the ridicule; though sometimes too highly coloured, is sel dom wholly unjust.
