Description
Excerpt from The Letters of Philip Dormer Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield With the Characters, Vol. 3 of 3
I find your journey through Flanders has been, like every man''s journey through the world, some good and some bad but, upon the whole, it was as well as being at the Hague. By what you observed, it is evident that the Court of Vienna will not lay out a shilling upon the barrier towns, but throw that burthen, as they do every other, upon the Maritime Powers; saying, that they get nothing by Flanders, but that it is our business to take care of it. I am an Austrian in my politics, and would support that House, if I could; but then I would be their ally, not their bubble their friend, but not their victim.
