Synopsis
Excerpt from Autobiography a Collection of the Most Instructive and Amusing Lives Ever Published, Vol. 22
What, beside these motives, induced him to quit the service of George II, and to prefer the protection of Frederick, prince of Wales, to that of his old mas ter? Alas! He could not then foresee the black cloud, which was preparing to obscure the expected glory of the rising sun, and to blast the hopes of all its wor shippers.
What, beside these motives, made his lordship dis contented and miserable while he remained in the court of that prince? A party was, there, quickly combined against him, which, unfortunately for lord Melcombe, was actuated by the same selfish principles as he himself was.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the diary of George Bubb Dodington, an 18th century aristocrat and politician. It offers a unique firsthand account of political intrigue and corruption in pre-industrial England. Dodington's self-serving, detailed observations reveal the extent to which his personal ambitions and greed shaped his political conduct. His ambition undermined his ability to act in the best interests of the country he sought to serve, causing him to sell his influence and support to the highest bidder, effectively placing his financial self-interest above all else. The diary's cynical and self-aware tone provides an insightful perspective on the workings of aristocratic power in Georgian Britain. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330886335_0
