The Majesty Of Mud
DURING the rage of republican principles in England, and whilst the
Corresponding Society was in full vigor, Mr. Selwyn one May-day met a
troop of chimney-sweepers, dressed out in all their gaudy trappings; and
observed to Mr. Fox, who was walking with him, I say, Charles, I have
often heard you and others talk of the majesty of the people; but I
never saw any of the young princes and princesses till now.
