Romilly delights her, but her greatest favourite of all is Mr. Whitbread. 'You know I am always an enthusiast, she writes, 'but at present it is impossible to describe the admiration I feel for this exalted character. She speaks of his voice 'which she could listen to with transport even if he spoke in an unknown language! she writes a sonnet to him, 'an impromptu, on hearing Mr.
A London club of reformers, reckoning among its members such men as Sir William Jones, Earl Grey, Samuel Whitbread, and Sir James Mackintosh, was established for the purpose of disseminating liberal appeals and arguments throughout the United Kingdom. In Scotland an auxiliary society was formed, under the name of Friends of the People.
A similar institution was formed at Bath, in 1808, by several ladies of that city; and about the same time Mr. Whitbread proposed to Parliament the formation of a national institution, "in the nature of a bank, for the use and advantage of the labouring classes alone;" but nothing came of his proposal. It was not until the Rev.
But when Mr. Whitbread, on the 8th of April, 1805, spoke to the "Resolutions" in the Commons for impeaching the Treasurer of the Navy, he thought proper to intimate that he "had a strong suspicion that Jellicoe was in the same partnership with Mark Sprott, Alexander Trotter, and Lord Melville.

Mr. Whitbread professed himself a strenuous advocate for the total and immediate abolition of the Slave Trade. It was contrary to nature, and to every principle of justice, humanity, and religion. Mr. If it should be thought that the trade ought not to be entirely done away, the sooner it was regulated the better.
Had he stood again in 1895, and been again successful, he would have been "Father of the House." It may be said, without doubt or exaggeration, that Samuel Whitbread was the ideal Member of Parliament. To begin with physical attributes, he was unusually tall, carried himself nobly, and had a beautiful and benignant countenance.
Whitbread begin; and the first sentence was clear enough, though his voice sounded thin at that distance. "I suppose," he said, "it is expected I should speak something to the matter I am condemned for, and brought hither to suffer."
It was not until June 22 that parliament assembled, and the engrossing interest of foreign events left but little room for discussions on home-policy. A motion by Whitbread, however, bore fruit in a bill for establishing parochial schools, which Eldon successfully opposed in the house of lords, mainly on the ground that it would take popular education out of the hands of the clergy.
