What is much more extraordinary is this assertion of Warburton's, which he has put in big letters at the beginning of his book.
In one matter, indeed, Grenville, at the expense of justice and liberty, gratified the passions of the court while gratifying his own. The persecution of Wilkes was eagerly pressed.
