He miscarried in all he undertook in America, was more improvident than unfortunate, less unfortunate than he deserved to be. If he was free from vices, he was as void of virtues ; and it is a paltry eulogium of a prime minister of a great country, yet the best that can be allotted to Lord North, that, though his country was ruined under his administration, he preserved his good humor, and neither felt for his country nor...
الصفحة 249 - No man in the administration was so much master of business, so quick or so shrewd ; and no man had so many public enemies who had so few private, for, though void of principles, he was void of rancour, and bore with equal good humour the freedom with which his friends attacked him and the satire of his opponents.
