With a perso- nal character of infinitely more respectability, he was imbued with the same fatal maxims of government — instilled into him by the assiduous indoctrination as well as example of his father — and what was, perhaps, a still greater misfortune, he inherited with the public principles and policy of his father, his father's odious favourite and minister, the vain, the light, the reckless, the imperious Buckingham. Circumstances like these were but little favourable to mutual confidenc...e and cordiality between the new King and his Parliament. Charles was exceedingly dissatisfied with the scanty supplies granted him by the Parliament, which he called together immediately on his accession ; and the Parliament, on the other hand, warned by the en- croachments of the late reign, and seeing the same pernicious influence and doctrines predominant in the councils of the new King, determined to grant no far- ther supplies till they had obtained some substantial guarantee for the public liberty.
