Excerpt from Otterstone Hall, Vol. 1Who quarrel more than beggars? Who does more earnestly long for a change than he that is uneasy in his present circumstances? And who run to create confusions with so desperate a boldness as those who, having nothing to lose, hope to gain by them? - Sir T. Moore.The year 1848 will ever be memorable in history for the revolutionary movements which then convulsed Europe, in some cases destroying thrones, and in many instances causing changes in dynasties and the remodelling of constitutions. The objects of their promoters were nearly everywhere identical. The more moderate demanded liberty of the press, trial by jury, State education, and the free right of holding public meetings, while the extreme party clamoured for universal suffrage, the abolition of standing armies, and the protection of labour, with a guarantee for the supply of all the necessaries of life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
