Evidence: | Lord Liverpool to John Wilson Croker, 23 August 1824:
'I am very much obliged to you for the specimen which you have sent me of Horace Walpole's
letters to Lord Hertford, which I return. I have been very much amused by it, but [...] I
believe Horace Walpole to have been as bad a man as ever lived; I cannot call him a violent
party man, he had not virtue enough to be so; he was the most sensuous and selfish of
mortals [comments further].' |
