Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1805 edition. Excerpt: ...which they held all the common sense of the country, that, though I have talked with Mr. Elwes frequently upon tb, e subject, I never could really learn why he supported it.. When he had quitted Parliament, no man more reprobated this measure than he did: but I really believe he thought at the time, that Mr. Fox and Lord North were the only men able to govern the affairs of England. For had Mr. Pitt been then known to the world, the opinions of Mr. Elwes, as a man careful of large property had been decidedly in his favour; for he has frequently declared to me since, and the declaration is curious and worth recording, because it is in the character of the man, and was in the outset of Mr. Pitt's political life: --" That after he experience he had had of public speakers and members of Parliament, there was only one man, he thought, could now talk him out of his money, and that was young Pitt.'" With this coalition ended the parliamentary life of Mr. Elwes, who had continued firm in his support of it, and which was almost the only line of conduct he ever did support in Parliament for any length of time. The character, however, which Mr. Elwes had long borne in Berkshire for integrity, might have made.a reelection not improbable, notwithstanding the rage which had gone forth against all the abettors of the coalition and its principles. But here the private principles of Mr. Elwes stepped in, and prevented all thoughts of a contested election. Such a thing would have been so contrary to the saving features and very, countenance of his character, that he would have died at the first election dinner. The usual parade of colours and cockades would have been to him a death-ivarrant; and open houses at his expense, immediate execution. Thus...

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of the Late John Elwes, Esquire: Member in Three Successive Parliaments for Berkshire My long valued friend, The life, which follows this, has already met more than its due share of approbation. But the singularity of the character will alone make it matter of curiosity. In delivering down to others an account so extraordinary, I was anxious to inscribe it with a name that might well deserve remembrance. A name of more merit than yours, I do not know; and should I here err, I am indeed mistaken in my judgment, for we have known each other during the period of our lives. We were boys together at Eton; students together at Cambridge; and we travelled together through Scotland. The distance which now divides us, removes from me all imputation of flattery here: and the usual homage of India, will make you think what I am now saying of you, but very cool commendation.
