Excerpt from Dramatic Works of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Bart, Vol. 1 of 2: Richelieu Money
The cabals formed against this great statesman were not carried on by the patriotism of public virtue, or the emulation of equal talent: they were but court struggles, in which the most worthless agents had re course to the most desperate means. In each, as I have before observed, we see combined the twofold at tempt to murder the minister and to betray the country. Such, then, are the agents and such the designs with which truth, in the drama as in-history, requires us to contrast the celebrated Cardinal; not disguising his foibles or his vices, but not unjust to the grander quali ties (especially the love of country), by which they were often dignified, and, at times redeemed.
