Excerpt from History of the Eighteenth Century and of the Nineteenth Till the Overthrow of the French Empire, Vol. 4: With Particular Reference to Mental Cultivation and Progress William IV. was neither a hero in war nor a great man, but he was born and trained to be the chief of a trading nation, he was a mild, accessible, moderate and clear-sighted ruler. He never hesitated to dismiss twelve thousand troops immediately after the war, nor did he adopt any changes in the administration till he was compelled to come forward as arbitrator between the incensed people and the obstinate aristocracy, who would rather risk or lose the whole of their privileges than make any voluntary concessions.
