The sun was now midway through its course, and their progress had been but slow. "Is not my dear lady in need of rest ?" inquired Amy Evans, as they approached a small village, at the entrance of which there was a newly painted gaudy sign of the king's head. "No, Amy, no; I need no rest. The consciousness of drawing nearer to my lord is rest enough for me." "But, honored madam," interposed Walter Elliot, "it were not ower wise in us to push our steeds too hard. The dumb creatures are but flesh and bluid like our ainselves; and should they chance to knock up, what shall we do, I'm thinking. 'Tis weary wark for them, lifting their hoofs eighteen or twenty inches through the snaw every step they take. An' it please your leddyship, we had better gie them a rest at yon bra' looking inn." "Not there, good Walter, not there. Look at that flaring sign! A little farther on there is another place of refreshment; 'tis but an humble one I grant, but at this moment any will be more welcome to me than this." And she averted her eyes from the " King George's Head," in large and golden letters, which adorned the front of the building. The place she had selected was indeed but a wretched alehouse, and they only staid there long enough to allow the animals necessary food. She was impatient to be gone; and as they seldom could proceed beyond a foot's pace, they were still some miles from their destined resting-place for the night when the short day had closed in; the sun had already set crimson beyond the cold snowy fields, and the clear deep blue of the heavens was...

Book excerpt: Barbarina Ogle Brand, Lady Dacre (1768-1854), was an English poet, playwright, and translator and one of the most accomplished women of her time. This first volume of Dacre's Tales of the Peerage and the Peasantry tells the story of Winifred Maxwell, Countess of Nithsdale (c.1680-1749), who is best known for arranging the daring escape of her husband from the Tower of London. In 1715, Nithsdale joined the Jacobite rebellion in support of the exiled King James II, but he was captured, tried for treason, and sentenced to death, despite Lady Nithsdale's personal appeal to King George I. On the night before his execution, she persuaded the guards to let her see him, dressed him in women's clothing, smuggled him out of the Tower.
Download or read book The Royal Throne of Mercy and British Culture in the Victorian Age written by James Gregory and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first detailed study of its kind, James Gregory's book takes a historical approach to mercy by focusing on widespread and varied discussions about the quality, virtue or feeling of mercy in the British world during Victoria's reign. Gregory covers an impressive range of themes from the gendered discourses of 'emotional' appeal surrounding Queen Victoria to the exercise and withholding of royal mercy in the wake of colonial rebellion throughout the British empire. Against the backdrop of major events and their historical significance, a masterful synthesis of rich source material is analysed, including visual depictions (paintings and cartoons in periodicals and popular literature) and literary ones (in sermons, novels, plays and poetry). Gregory's sophisticated analysis of the multiple meanings, uses and operations of royal mercy duly emphasise its significance as a major theme in British cultural history during the 'long 19th century'. This will be essential reading for those interested in the history of mercy, the history of gender, British social and cultural history and the legacy of Queen Victoria's reign.

Download or read book Jacobite Prisoners of the 1715 Rebellion written by Margaret Sankey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jacobite rebellion of 1715 was a dramatic but ultimately unsuccessful challenge to the new Hanoverian regime in Great Britain. It did, however, reveal serious fault lines in the political foundations of the new regime which enormously restricted the government's freedom of action in the suppression of the rebellion, and effectively made the treatment of the rebels in its aftermath the true test of the new dynasty's legitimacy and stability. Whilst the rulers of England had traditionally dealt harshly with internal rebellion, monarchs and their ministers had to find a delicate balance between showing the power of the regime through the candid exercise of force while maintaining their own reputation for justice and clemency. As such George I and his government had to tailor their reaction to the 1715 rebellion in such a way that it effectively discouraged further participation in Jacobite insurgency, undercut the rebels' ability to challenge the state, and made clear the regime's intention to use a firm hand in preventing rebellion. At the same time it could not cross the line into tyranny with excessive or sadistic executions and had to avoid giving offence to powerful magnates and foreign powers likely to petition for the lives of the captured rebels. To accomplish this feat, the Hanoverian Whig regime used a programme far more subtle and calculated than has generally been appreciated. The scheme it put into effect had three components, to put fear into the rank-and-file of the rebels through a limited programme of execution and transportation, to cripple the Catholic community through imprisonment and property confiscation, and, most crucially, to entertain petitions from members of the elite on behalf of imprisoned rebels. By following such a strategy of retribution tempered with clemency, this book argues that the Hanoverian regime was able to quell the immediate dangers posed by the rebellion, and bring its leaders back into the orbit of the government, beginning the process of reintegrating them back into political mainstream.
