At best, they Avill become totally indif- ferent to good and evil, to one institution or an- other. " In his examination of the principles on which the nation must be called to support the war, he touches on the difficulties which should influence the British Minister to have recourse only to the manlier feelings of the empire. " There has not been in this century any foreign peace or war, in its origin the fruit of po- pular desire, except the war that was made Avith Spain in 1709. Sir Robert ...Walpole was forced into the war by the people, who were inflamed to this measure by the most leading politicians, by the first orators, and the greatest poets of the time. For that war Pope sang his dying notes ; for that war, Johnson, in more energetic strains, employed the voice of his early ge- nius ; for that war Glover distinguished himself in the way in whichhis genius was the most natural and happy. The crowd readily followed the politicians in the cry for a war which threatened little bloodshed, and whiijh promised victories attended with something more so- lid than glory.
