A. Hundred Years Ago
" THE SPECTATOR," • JULY 25th, 1835.
WE are glad that Lord Brougham is so well pleased to be released from office : as he is satisfied, no one is mortified or sorry. In reference to the remarks on his Scotch dinners and journey . . . . we may tell him, that his hurried mountebank exhibitions in the North, were very different from Lord Eldon's annual attendance at the dinner in honour of the memory of his old friend Pitt. But it was not his dining out that was objected to, so much as the sort of stuff he talked so profusely after dinner nonsense, repeated mosque ad nauseam, about the revered Monarch who lives in tho hearts of his people," his writing letters to the King by that night's post, his announcement of the Do-little policy of the Melbourne Ministry, &c.
