Note 391 — Chapter V
Reading edition
The popular view is given by Southey. The Radicals, he says in 1823, desire war because they expect it to lead to revolution. 'In this they are greatly deceived, for it would restore agricultural prosperity, and give a new spur to our manufactures' (Selections from Southey's Letters, iii. 382. See also Life and Correspondence, iv. 228, 386).
