Protean Chancellor Brougham critique from 1832 letters
A correspondent recalls a January 1832 letter attacking Lord Chancellor Brougham and Vaux for bending to party power over popular wishes. The piece argues his rise to power corrupts principle, praises personal traits yet condemns political conduct as treacherous and flexible across regimes. The writer cites Fielding and classical references, noting the chancellor’s alleged slippery nature and loyalty to place over policy.
