Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the Private and Political Life of the Late Henry Hunt, Esq. M. P., For Preston, His Times and Cotemporaries, Vol. 1: Exhibiting the Rise and Progress of Those Great Political Events Which Led to the Passing of the Reform Act
An evil practice has of late years prevailed of eulogizing persons of note, instead of giving a detailed account of their pursuits and sentiments, the habits they acquired and the errors into which they occasionally fell. This method of sub stituting panegyric for history has become so general that it would not be surprising to see a justificatory memoir of Guy Fawkes, or an apology for the conduct of Nell Gwynne, or Mrs. Jordan.
