ABSTRACT
There is no employment more agreeable to the man, who unites some degree of philosophical curiosity with a certain interest in the affairs of his country, than to look back upon those events, in respect of which the undue warmth of the politician has died away, and the clouds of popular delusion, if they had ever existence, have been dissipated. As the authors object is to inquire into the merits of Mr Pitt as a statesman, they shall pass over with rapidity the events, which preceded the moment in which he began to be thought of in that view; they mean the dissolution of the administration of lord North. Reform and renovation are at all times the strong holds of opposition. In the midst of the Civil List Reform, of the Contractors' Bill, of the Revenue Officers' Bill.
