Seite xi - A letter was in fact written about this period, but it was of a purely private nature, and could not at any time have exercised the smallest influence on his mind. How should it? It was a letter about some verses of Lord Wellesley's, and about other gossip, too private to be here quoted.
Seite 49 - An Act for the more effectual suppression of local disturbances and dangerous associations in Ireland.
Seite 22 - But of his anxiety to uphold the fabric of Lord Grey's administration there was as little doubt in the minds of all who knew him as there was of his affection and regard for Lord Grey personally.
Seite 35 - Eepeal alone from which mischief is to be apprehended. But I think that the ordinary powers of the law, with the weight of public opinion, would easily defeat such wicked attempts. I cannot therefore state that I consider the preservation of the clauses respecting Meetings as they now stand in the Act to be essential to the public tranquillity of Ireland, or that the omission of them would endanger the public safety.
Seite 14 - O'Connell came to the Irish Office, and Mr. Littleton dissuaded him from any unnecessary excitation of the people of Ireland, until he should have seen the new Coercion Bill, which would be renewed with certain limitations.
Seite 56 - My dear Littleton, — The scrape we are in I admit to be a great one, but I do not see how your resignation will do us any good now. If you had resigned when I told you first of the decision of the Cabinet, it would have been better for yourself; but it must have broken up the Government.

Seite 51 - August 23, 1848. My Dear Sir: I am greatly obliged to you, for your kind and friendly letter. You overrate, I am sure, the value of my speech, it was quite unpremeditated and its merit, if any, consists I presume in its directness and its brevity. It mortified me to see that some of the newspaper writers speak of it as the "taking of a position...
Seite 34 - ... Lord Grey of June 21, 1834 (see p. 363, above), begins as follows: ' My dear Lord, — Understanding from some communications with Mr. Littleton, that the omission of those clauses in Protective Act which confer extensive and extraordinary powers of preventing meetings, etc. on the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, would facilitate other measures of importance in their progress through Parliament, and would also secure the re-enactment of other important provisions of the Act ; I think it may be convenient...
Seite 36 - Eepeal of the Union to destroy itself by discussion and free reason. Where I have applied the law the cases were irresistible, and it was loudly and repeatedly demanded by the voice of the country. Even then I applied it reluctantly and with every precaution, and it has everywhere been attended with complete effect. Your Lordship knows whether I have sought for the renewal of these tremendous powers (more dreadful perhaps to me than to the people of Ireland) with less...
Seite xii - ... to consent to fresh changes ; panting for the quiet of a Tory Ministry, the natural favourite of all kings ; not relishing a set of Ministers who looked to popular support rather than to Court favour — still less liking a Ministry which almost every month spoke of breaking up (as under Lord Grey had been too often the case), and leaving him in the position of all others to all kings the most hateful and even alarming, that of being left for a time without a Government, and so feeling all responsibility...
