Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Shelley, "Peterloo" And "the Mask of Anarchy"
Lord High Chancellor, Viscount Sidmouth Home Secre tary, and Lord Castlereagh Foreign Secretary. Lord Sidmouth publicly expressed the satisfaction of the Prince Regent with the prompt, decisive, and efficient measures for the preservation of the public tranquillity adopted by the local authorities. Lord Eldon, equally, supported the magistrates; and for the rest, the cup of iniquity both of Castlereagh and of Eldon had long, in Shelley's eyes, been full to over?owing; so that he might well give to Murder a mask like the one, and to Fraud an ermined gown like that of the other.
