The Diaries of William Charles Macready, 1833-1851, Vol. 2 of 2
Excerpt from The Diaries of William Charles Macready, 1833-1851, Vol. 2 of 2
May 8th. - Heard that Sir R. Peel had received the Queen's orders to form a Ministry; was deeply distressed to hear it, feeling that the hopes of those who looked forward to a Government as an instrument to effect the moral and intellectual improvement, and the amelioration of the condition, of the people are now crushed. I suffered much from low spirits. Acted Cardinal Richelieu pretty well; was called for by the audience and well received.
