Страница 16 - ... therefore no sooner elected than he set off for Madras, and defrauded the longing eyes of Parliament. We have never enjoyed in this House the luxury of beholding that minion of the human race, and contemplating that visage which has so long reflected the happiness of nations. It was therefore not possible for the minister to consult personally with this great man. What, then, was he to do ? Through a sagacity that never failed him in these pursuits, he found out, in Mr. Benfield's representative,...

He was going, and met a party of pioneers, whom he had long looked for in vain, to cut off the approach by the southern rampart, " I must first (said he) shew these people the work they have to do," and in the act of giving his instructions, was killed by a cannon shot.
