Excerpt from A Popular History of England, Vol. 4: From the Earliest Times to the Accession of VictoriaThe accusations brought against the Duke of Leeds were serious, and though the witnesses had disappeared, and the accusation therefore had fallen to the ground, the popular anger and indignation condemned him, the duke was obliged to retire into the country, and forever relinquish political life. On the 12th of May, 1695, when William set out for the Continent, the name of the Duke of Leeds was stricken from the list of the council, which for the future was to be intrusted with the government of the kingdom during the king's absence. She was no more, the intelligent, firm, and faithful regent, who had lately governed so wisely in his name, and so gladly surrendered the power again to his hands, and William rejected all the suggestions which were made to him to allow the Princess Anne to take her place.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
