Description
Excerpt from George Canning
George Bentinck deals with Peel's conduct, and not with Canning's.
Estimates of Canning as a politician and orator will be found in Lord Brougham's Statesmen of the Reign of George Where a much more favourable view of him is taken than that given in Brougham's letters published in his Life and Times in Lord Balling's Historic Characters; in Sir George Lewis's History of British Administrations,' and Mr. Keb bel's History of Toryism.' Among the writers of connected histories, Miss Martineau History of the Thirty Years' Peace is the passionate eulogist of Canning; Sir Archibald Alison History of Europe a fair, though unfavourable critic. Canning is the Wentworth of Mr. Plumer Ward's novel, De Vere,' and is drawn there in far more pleasing colours than those in which he appears in the same writer's Diaries.'
