Excerpt from The History of the Reign of George III, Vol. 1 of 3: To Which Is Prefixed, a View of the Progressive Improvement of England, in Prosperity and Strength, to the Accession of His Majesty
In the disposition of my materials, I ha ve adopted the following plan. Previous to the commencement of the History, there is an Introduction, which traces the progres sive improvement of England in internal prosperity and strength, as well as in estimation and importance among foreign powers, from the earliest times to the beginning of the war 1756. A preliminary chapter contains the causes and outline of hostilities, with the internal transactions and state of the country during the last years of the late king; in order that the reader, having before him at the acces sion of his present majesty, the outset of national affairs, foreign and domestic, may more easily perceive progres sion and result. Both in the Introduction and History, it has been my endeavour to place in a just and striking light the force of the British character, formed and invigorated by the British constitution; and to demonstrate that Bri tain, either in peace or in war, prospers and conquers, be cause she excels in wisdom and virtue. This is the moral les son which my narrative attempts to inculcate and if I do not succeed, the deficiency is in myself, and not in my sub jcet. It is possible that my narrative may be charged with national partiality: I confess I love my country, and hate her enemies and if this be a crime, I must plead guilty. I trust, however, that notwithstanding my warm affection for Britain, and my admiration of her stupendous efforts, I shall be found, even in reciting the contests with her foes, to have rigidly adhered to historical truth, and done jus tice to the exertions of her enemies who, in disciplined valour, genius, and power, far surpassed any foes that were ever opposed to the heroes of ancient Greece or Home.
