Excerpt from Historical Sketches of Statesmen Who Flourished in the Time of George III: To Which Are Added Remarks on the French Revolution The third and concluding volume of this work is deli vered to the public under a grateful sense of the favour with which the two former were received. It has been my desire to make some small return for such kindness, by redoubling my care to prevent any bias of a party or a personal kind from influencing the Opinions pronounced, whether upon men or upon measures. Conscious as every one must feel how naturally our affections are engaged in behalf of those whose Opinions agree with our own, and how apt the adversaries of those opinions are to be hardly dealt with in the judg ments we form of them, I have most scrupulously made it my endeavour to treat all with Whose history I have dealt as if I was ignorant of the principles which pro fessedly guided their conduct, until I came to describe how far it was governed by them.
