“They are all out. The answer of Prinny is short—that he is to comply
immediately with the address to try to form a Govt. I had no hand in this bad
work. I would not vote. It is the old blunder
of 1804—acting at
Canning’s benefit. The old
rotten Ministry was to my mind.”
George Canning (1770-1827)
Tory statesman; he was foreign minister (1807-1809) and prime minister (1827); a
supporter of Greek independence and Catholic emancipation.
