text_original: The Lord Chancellor of 839 THE REIGN OF QUEEN ANNE the day, a friend of Marlborough, told the Duke frank  ly that his proposal was utterly unconstitutional, and that he as Lord Chancellor could not venture to put the great seal to the patent which conferred such an appointment Yet, on the other hand, it seems only fair to assume that Marlborough was not inspired by mere love of power or love of money, but by a genuine conviction that the appointment would be for the good of the country.
