Excerpt from The New Whig Guide
Political pasquinades and political carica tures are parts (though humble ones) of poli tical history; they supply information as to the personal habits and manners, and often as to the motives and objects of public men, which cannot be found elsewhere.
It is true that the portraits are for the most part exaggerated and unfavourable, but there is stilla general resemblance; and the ridicule; though sometimes too highly coloured, is sel dom wholly unjust.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book collects a series of satirical articles published in 1815, which provide little known historical context regarding political rivalries and power struggles that took place immediately after the Napoleonic Wars, and how these events shaped policy decisions and alliances. The author recreates conversations between prominent members of the Whig party as they plot and scheme to unseat the Tory government, revealing the personal motivations and ambitions that influenced their decisions. Through a combination of historical documents and fictionalized dialogue, the author provides access to the human element behind closed-door meetings and high-stakes negotiations. At the center of the book is the enduring question regarding the nature of power, and the extent to which personal ambition should govern statecraft and the political process. These essays offer a fresh perspective on the balance of power in a post-war world, and will be of value to scholars of history, politics, and literature alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
