Strana 15 - But farther, though the queen is in all respects a subject, yet, in point of the security of her life and person, she is put on the same footing with the king. It is equally treason (by the statute 25 Edw. III.) to compass or imagine the death of our lady the king's companion, as of the king himself...
Strana 4 - The beauty — the goodness — the very helplessness of the sex are so many claims on our support, are so many sacred calls on the assistance of every manly and courageous arm.
Strana 9 - January, that there is no longer any necessity for your Majesty being advised to decline receiving the Princess into your Royal presence, humbly submit to your Majesty, that it is essentially necessary, in justice to her Royal Highness, and for the honour and interests of your Majesty's illustrious family, that her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales, should be admitted with as little delay as possible, into your Majesty's Royal presence, and that she should be received in a manner due to her rank...
Strana 23 - Peers, who have entered into and goi.« throttg-h an inquiry, which, terminate how it may, the House of Commons have declared to be derogatory from the dignity of the throne and injurious to the best interests of the nation! Then, there is a Queen, degraded by the House of Peers. and this Queen is not only the., king's wife; but is his...
Strana 26 - ... without the Queen having been made acquainted with the nature of the charge, without her knowing any thing of the nature and extent of the evidence, without her being suffered to be confronted with the witnesses, without her being suffered to know even the names of the witnesses.
Strana 32 - ... our confidence. Their very charms — their very virtues, will only excite unmeaning jealousy, and unmanly persecution. Revolutions in manners are as frequent as revolutions in government and whilst an example is held up to every ruffian in the land to abuse and insult the wife, that he promised to cherish and protect, is it unreasonable to apprehend the degeneracy and 146 decay of our national morals? — but heaven forbid this worst of all revolutions — man changes his nature when woman changes...
Strana 32 - Deprived of all their honours, and of all their influence — the tenderness and respect that are now felt for them, will be felt no more — they will be no longer the partakers of our joys, and the sharers of our confidence. Their very charms — their very virtues, will only excite unmeaning jealousy, and unmanly persecution. Revolutions in manners are as frequent as revolutions in government and whilst an example is held up to every ruffian in the land to abuse and insult the wife, that he promised...
Strana 17 - Attorney-General asks, in a smart, professional, superficial way, what would be the consequence, if the King's Ministers, with evidence before them which could not be overlooked, had inserted her Majesty's name in the Liturgy ? Why, what would be the consequence ? — simply this: that the Ministers would have waited with patience for the result of the trial ; that they would not have, most unfairly^ attempted to prejudice the public mind against the Queen, by pronouncing 17 on her case before-hand.
Strana 31 - In vain shall we look for a parallel to this extraordinary case in the whole history of human suffering. Almost from the first day that the Queen set her foot on British ground to the present hour she has met with nothing but harshness and oppression — her wrongs have been embittered by the consciousness that even acquittal, which in every other case restores confidence, and protects as it vindicates innocence, has only marked her out as the object of fresh aggression.
Strana 12 - Turk who holds man but the slave of his will, and woman the creature of his appetites.~a being to be put away at his pleasure and degraded at his caprice. It is curious to observe, that even this active life has been brought forward by the tongue of slander as affording evidence of loose and improper habits. I shall not stop to overturn so silly a conclusion— -I shall merely say, what every man acquainted with human nature knows — that when once woman becomes the slave of...
