Lord Ashley’s New Plan for National Education in England
The Chronicle lauds Lord Ashley for proposing widened public education funded by the state, condemns persistent factory and parish neglect, and warns of a looming social crisis from mass destitution and corrupted youth unless education reaches all workers beyond factories and unions.
Lord Ashley and the moral economy of the people
The article critiques Lord Ashley’s approach to economic distress among England's working classes, arguing that immediate hunger must be addressed before education. It cites Gladstone on shared misery since the Peace and challenges Ashley to confront first-principle economic questions affecting the poor, promising continued extracts from official reports to urge speedy remedies.

He shows notable ability in debate, standing firm against a hostile crowd, denouncing others yet blaming those he attacked for provoking him.

The Duke of Wellington in 1837 and 1843
The piece notes Wellington’s shifting stance on holding high office while commanding armies, citing his 1837 view that a Commander-in-Chief should not be a Cabinet member and questioning how he reconciled this with his 1843 actions. It argues the exception proves the rule and critiques praise of his inconsistent stance.
