Due to the very old age and scarcity of this book, many of the pages may be hard to read due to the blurring of the original text.

Reseña del editor

Closter Seven, concluded by the Duke of Cumberland, repeatedly said to Mr. Pitt, I gave him no powers, his repeated answer was, Very full powers indeed, Sir. Most men are ready to admit that plainness and simplicity are good moral qualities, and not at all unwilling to encourage them in others. But it is not so generally known or admitted, that these qualities, instructed by experience or enlightened by reflection are the surest evidence of a sound understanding. A cunning rogue may cheat a wiser man of his money ;but, in an abstract question to be determined by judgement, it is not possible that skill and artifice can finally prevail over plain reason, which, in the ordinary transactions of life, is called common sense. If it were possible for me to personify the British nation, and if I were at liberty to offer my humble advice to so great a person, the first thing I should recommend to him would be to adopt the maxim of Lord Chatham, to stop for a moment, in order to take a general view of his situation with his own eyes, and to reflect on it. himself.
