So far from complaining of these Hanoverian Boards, and First Lords, it seems to me that they have always kept in view the hollowness of their claims to the throne, and have felt a desire to purchase honest men by their favours." "You are the strangest fellow, Dick Bluewater, it has ever been my lot to fall in with! D e me, if I believe you know always, when you are ill treated.
He had used the very large sums of money which he possessed to keep together a Hanoverian Legion, recruited from former officers and soldiers of the Hanoverian army. He had hoped that war would break out before this and would be accompanied by a rising in Hanover. His means had now come to an end, and the unfortunate men were living in Paris almost without support.
The Hanoverian ministers always deserved to be hanged for rascals; but now, if they get the power in their hands, as, sooner or later, they must, since there is neither rising in England nor assistance from France, they will deserve the gallows as fools if they leave a single clan in the Highlands in a situation to be again troublesome to government.
In the Hanoverian period waste lands were enclosed, the slate mines of the north and the coal pits of the south were opened. The Tudors succeeded in getting the upper classes to speak English, and to turn their backs on Welsh life. The peasant was left supreme: he knew not what to do at first, but light soon came.

Our Revolution occurred in the reign of the Third George; back of it runs a line of other Hanoverian kings, of Stuart kings, of Tudor kings, of Plantagenet kings, of Norman kings, of Saxon kings, of Roman governors, of Briton kings and queens, of Scottish tribal heads and kings, of ancient Irish kings.
From the town, a beautiful lane leads to a gentle hill, on whose top stands a lovely building, used as a coffee-house. As soon as one has passed the Hanoverian domains the country, though it is not richer in natural curiosities, is less abundant in marshes and heaths, and is very well-cultivated land.
The next, in size and commodiousness, among these various structures, all now occupied by the general officers and other favored personages of the army, was a large, low farmhouse, which the intermingling devices of the British and Hanoverian flags, conspicuously displayed from the roof, denoted to be the quarters of General Reidesel, suite, and well-known family.
