England’s Foreign Policy, Or, Grey-whigs And Cotton-whigs, With Lord Palmerston’s Pet Belgian Constitution Of Catholics And Liberals

In this lively and opinionated work, Thomas Wilson offers a biting critique of British foreign policy in the mid-19th century. He argues that the Grey-Whigs and Cotton-Whigs, two factions within the Liberal Party, were more concerned with protecting their own economic interests than with advancing the public good. Wilson also takes aim at Lord Palmerston, the powerful Foreign Secretary, and his support for the Belgian Constitution, which he sees as a betrayal of liberal principles. Full of colorful characters and sharp insights, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in 19th-century British politics.
