Book Description
Excerpt from The Letters of Horace Walpole, Vol. 4 of 16: Fourth Earl of Orford; Chronologically Arranged and Edited With Notes and Indices Now are you mortally angry with me for trifling with you, and not telling you at once the particulars Of this almost-revolution. You may be-angry, but I shall take my own time, and shall give myself what airs I please both to you, my Lord Ambassador, and to you, my Lord Secretary of State, who will, I suppose, open this letter-ii you have courage enough left. In the first place, I assume all the impertinence of a prophet - ay, of that great curiosity, a prophet, who really prophesied before the event, and whose predictions have been accomplished. Have I, or have I not, announced to you the unexpected blows that would be given to the administration - come, I will lay aside my dignity, and satisfy your impatience. There's moderation.
