VOLUME I
CHAPTER I
Temptation
The circumstances of the general election of 18-- will be well
remembered by all those who take an interest in the political matters of
the country. There had been a coming in and a going out of Ministers
previous to that,--somewhat rapid, very exciting, and, upon the whole,
useful as showing the real feeling of the country upon sundry questions
of public interest. Mr. Gresham had been Prime Minister of England, as
representative of the Liberal party in politics. There had come to be a
split among those who should have been his followers on the terribly
vexed question of the Ballot. Then Mr. Daubeny for twelve months had
sat upon the throne distributing the good things of the Crown amidst
Conservative birdlings, with beaks wide open and craving maws, who
certainly for some years previous had not received their share of State
honours or State emoluments. And Mr. Daubeny was still so sitting, to
the infinite dismay of the Liberals, every man of whom felt that his
party was entitled by numerical strength to keep the management of the
Government within its own hands.
Let a man be of what side he may in politics,--unless he be much more
of a partisan than a patriot,--he will think it well that there should be

some equity of division in the bestowal of crumbs of comfort. Can even
any old Whig wish that every Lord Lieutenant of a county should be an
old Whig? Can it be good for the administration of the law that none
but Liberal lawyers should become Attorney-Generals, and from thence
Chief Justices or Lords of Appeal? Should no Conservative Peer ever
represent the majesty of England in India, in Canada, or at St.
Petersburgh? So arguing, moderate Liberals
