Oh, John Wilkes, Alderman of London, and Drawcansir of Liberty, your life was not an iota too perfect,-your patriotism might have been infinitely purer, your morals would have admitted indefinite amendment, you are no great favourite with us or with the rest of the world,-but you said one excellent thing, for which we look on you with benevolence, nay, almost with respect.
"Paul Clifford, Volume 7."
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
