Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Free Trade Struggle in England The Penny Magazine was in active circulation, lectures were popular, mechanics' institutes were multiplying, and, in the expressive language of Lord Brougham, the schoolmaster was abroad in the land. The Whigs were afraid to risk their small majority by the introduction of any great measure of public policy, and by reason of this very timidity, their trifling majority was gradually dwindling away. They asked per mission to doze in comfort on the Treasury benches, but the clamor or the League disturbed their slumbers, and the Tories were waiting and watching their own Opportunity, which was close at hand.
