Seite 11 - This little History was written for a real little Arthur, and I have endeavoured to write it as I would tell it to an intelligent child. I well remember what I wanted to be told myself in addition to what I found in my lesson-books when first allowed to read the History of England.
Seite 78 - Well, but so is, or at least so was, a Whig of the old school. There is another characteristic — a Conservative is one who, having this loyalty to the Constitution, believes it is threatened with subversion by the encroachments of democracy, and is prepared to defend it against that danger.

Seite 64 - Ministers may call themselves by what fanciful sobriquet they please. Their supporters may cry — " Oh, here is Lord Melbourne and the Marquis of Lansdown — surely they cannot be called Radicals !" We have nothing to do with the private opinions or secret inclinations of these noblemen ; but if we see their government in the Lower House strictly united with the Movement party, and subsisting but by its support, we have a right to consider them as identified together. The argument of their advocates,...
