Notes |
Notes to No. 16622: On 19 Mar. Hunt presented a petition against Cobbett from some of the latter's labourers, saying that in place of 2s. 6d. to 3s. a day (previous to 1828) they had been paid in 'disgusting food', its 'utmost worth' not over 13 1/2d. while the prime cost to Cobbett could not exceed 6 3/4d. Parl. Deb., 3rd s. iii. 579-82. This followed violent attacks by Cobbett on Hunt in the Pol. Reg. (12, 19 Feb., 12 Mar.). For Cobbett's system of payment see Cole, Life of Cobbett, pp. 311 f. Cf. No. 11352, &c. Notes to No. 16623: Peel's brother on 7 Mar. alluded to 'Hunt's matchless composition', not meaning 'any disrespect' but that 'every one would be prescribing his nostrums to the House'. Hunt, on 14 Mar. spoke of this allusion, which he said he was [rightly] led to believe was good-humoured and inoffensive, but retaliated: 'Sir the only difference between you and me is this', continuing much as above. Parl. Deb., 3rd s. iii. 147, 407. For Hunt's morbid vanity and his assumption of superior rank to humbler Radicals see Bamford, Passages in the Life of a Radical, ii. 89, 209 f.; and No. 16671. Cf. No. 15853, &c. Notes to No. 16629: It was the thesis of some Tories, notably Croker, that the demand for Reform had been provoked by the Whigs in order to secure office: 'they now summon us, in the name of the people, to yield to a clamour which they confess, that they themselves have excited'. Parl. Deb., 3rd s. iii. 87 (4 Mar.). Cf. Nos. 16620, 17073. Notes to No. 16631: Vyvyan, an ultra-Tory, was the spokesman of the Opposition on 21 Mar.: opposing the second reading he pledged himself to move a Resolution to strengthen the Representation of the House. Parl. Deb., 3rd s. iii. 629 ff. One of many prints on John Bull and his doctors, cf. No. 16069, &c. Bound in a volume ("The Looking Glass, Vol. II") containing nos. 13-24 for 1831. Vols. I to VII (1830 to 1836) are kept at 298.d.12 to 18. |

editThis image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only.
