Evidence: | 'a thousand thanks for [your letter], and for Sir John Stanley's speech, which I like very much, though I own I think he gives a little into commonplace towards the end, when he says the French Revolution would never have happened if so and so - forgetting that the unfortunate sovereign under whom it did happen was religious, moral, and virtuous to the highest degree, solely attached to his own wife, - and it was an old observation that a wife, a Queen's having any influence over her husband was a thing the French at no time could bear' [LS critiques various other points of the speech at length] |
