Excerpt from A Review of the Chandos Peerage Case, Adjudicated 1803, and of the Pretensions of Sir Samuel-Egerton Brydges, Bart. To Designate Himself Per Legem Terrae Baron Chandos of SudeleyThis bold complaint has taken almost every form of literary composition. It has, sometimes, been poured out in melodious strains of poetry: some times, an eloquent tale of fiction has shadowed forth the actors in the unfortunate contest: here, a happy anecdote or sketch of real or imaginative biography - there, a piquant note or topographical reminiscence - has afforded occasion to inveigh against partial and incompetent judges, or corrupt and treacherous agents and the sensitive and gifted accuser, with inexhaustible powers to charm and to instruct, has even stooped to the drudgery of editing a peerage of nine volumes, in order that a few of its pages might transmit a record of his family wrongs to posterity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
