The third of four editions published in 1810. ‘A rabid Anti-Bullionist’ (Stephens, p. 42), Rose (1744–1818), here, ‘for Pitt’s greater glory … illustrate[s] the decline of the influence of the crown since 1782 by reference to the elimination of places and sinecures. His conclusions were contested by the House, 19 Mar., though he replied “with some warmth”’ (Thorne, History of Parliament). The following year, Rose turned down a position on the bullion committee, later denouncing its final report in a two-and-a-half-hour speech, published in 1811.
