Description:From the Introduction to the first volume: "It is worthwhile to dwell upon this experience of political journalism, because it was to the associations of these years that he owed the political bias of his mind. He had fought on the side of those opposed to Pitt and Canning, and to the last hour of his life he remained opposed to them. Even where they are not actually mentioned by name, they continually appear in his writings. A story about a knavish Persian statesman, or a tricky Athenian demagogue, will veil an attack upon one or the other of the two arch-tories, against whom he had once borne arms. As far as Pitt is concerned, those may defend him who will. But in Landor's antipathy to Canning there is something less reasonable, and almost more personal. In part it is possible that Landor resented, most unreasonably, Canning's lack of birth. He himself was proud of his ancestry. His mother came of an old Warwickshire family of Savages, to which he devoutly believed Sir Arnold Savage to have belonged. It pleased both his aristocratic and his whiggish opinions to think himself descended from the Speaker of the House of Commons who was independent enough to lecture Henry the Fourth on the science of government. But whatever may have been the cause of his bitter dislike, there can be no question of its endurance. Among all Landor's attacks on those from whom he differed, the attacks on Canning stand pre-eminent. ..".We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
