Details Jan 25, 1793 - Jan 30, 1793  Richard Watson, Bishop of Llandaff, publishes his so-called "Apology" in the aftermath of the execution of the French king. The apology, which appears in the London papers (The Morning Herald and The Times) as an "Appendix" to one of Watson's earlier sermons seems to English sympathizers with the French Revolution to be an act of reactionary apostasy against Watson's earlier record of advocacy for liberal causes. Reaction against Watson's reaction then becomes a common means of expression for liberals.
