Strana 121 - immediately. He has often expressed his concern at our disunion, and declares he never will leave the Continent till he can see a prospect of bringing the King to enter into my situation. H.—Surely, Sir, the King could not object to any increase of income Parliament thought proper to allow Your Royal Highness
Strana 477 - of Fox's abettors; that these had seduced Fox's principles, had made him believe that a Government like ours was not a proper one for great talents to display themselves in, that by working on his ambition, which, carried to excess, becomes wickedness, they had made him from these reasons approve and praise the French Revolution — that
Strana 124 - H.—Mr. Fox and the Duke of Portland have told me often, Sir, that they by no means wish Your Royal Highness to condescend, on their account, to take any share in party concerns. They have repeatedly declared that a Prince of Wales ought to be of no party.

Strana 119 - H.—I think it very immaterial for Your Royal Highness to know whether you can, or cannot, legally travel without His Majesty's consent ; since it is evident that you cannot with any propriety to the public, or satisfaction to yourself, cross the seas without it. P.—Why not
Strana 31 - not time to add more. The debate lasted till near four o'clock, and I hear nothing ever equalled the speech which Pitt made upon the state of the navy, army, and finance, all concurring to contradict the assertion of the resolution. He is a most extraordinary phenomenon (he was up three hours), and his character untainted."
Strana 456 - asking him whether the King knew it, Pitt said he did not come with the King's command to propose a coalition, but that he would be responsible that it would please the King and the Queen, and that the only difficulty at all likely to arise was about Fox, and that difficulty entirely owing to Fox's conduct in Parliament during the last four
