Note 316 — JOURNAL OF ELIZABETH LADY HOLLAND (continued 5)
Reading edition
‘His steadiness and zeal have been of the greatest use, and I think he is a man that, having begun, is sure to go on. I look upon him to be one of the main pillars of the party. You know I am one who think both property and rank of great importance in this country in a party view; and in addition to these, the Duke of Bedford has a very good understanding; I wish I could add popular manners.’ C. J. Fox to Lord Holland, March 1794 (Memorials and Correspondence of C. J. Fox).
