London. No country ever was governed in masquerade like
this. With the forms of a constitution, but not one
particle of essence. One man is the prime mover of all
things. This man is Lord Bute. . . [10 lines] Lord Bute,
from his dark theory, and gloomy study, gives his crude and
wicked hints to Jenkinson--Jenkinson puts them into
language, carries them to Buckingham House, and there
delivers them, in a theatrical tone and gesture. Froth and
bombast, which, with fools, pass for erudition and
abilities, are the sweetest incense at Buckingham house. . .
