Rotate Camera on axis and X axis not working

Question

Hey guys. I'm trying to rotate my camera by click and dragging. If I click then drag my mouse horizontally, I want the camera to rotate on the Y axis. If I click and drag vertically, I want my camera to rotate on the x axis. When I let up on the clicking, I want the rotating to stop.

I put this code in a script attached to my camera:

 void Update () {
     if (pressed) {
         if((Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")) == 1){
             transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")*speed*Time.deltaTime, 0,Space.World);
         }
         else if((Input.GetAxis("Vertical")) == -1){
             transform.Rotate(0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical")*speed*Time.deltaTime, 0,Space.World);
         }
     }
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (1)) {
         if(pressed) {
             pressed = false;
         }
         else {
             pressed = true;
         }
     }


 
 }

However, when i build and run it, NOTHING happens. It does not rotate in any direction. Can someone help me? What am I doing wrong? Thanks. I'm pretty positive my structure is correct but perhaps my syntax is wrong? please let me know.

One thing I found out when it comes to changing the angle on the X axis it seems you have to use the transform.eulerAngles to do so. For I am trying to my Camera to Rotate on the X Axis as you zoom in and out here is my code a bit on that:

 public class CameraMovement : MonoBehaviour
 {
     float speed = 0.06f;
     float zoomSpeed = 10.0f;
     float rotateSpeed = 0.1f;
 
     float maxHeight = 65f;
     float minHeight =  3f;
 
     float XposHH = 50f;
     float XposHL = 3f;
 
 
     Vector2 p1;
     Vector2 p2;
 
 
     // Start is called before the first frame update
     void Start()
     {
         
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update()
     {
 
         if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift))
         {
             speed = 0.06f;
             zoomSpeed = 20.0f;
         }
         else 
         {
             speed = 0.035f;
             zoomSpeed = 10.0f;
         }
 
         float hsp = transform.position.y * speed * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
         float vsp = transform.position.y * speed * Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
         float scrollSp =  -zoomSpeed * Input.GetAxis("Mouse ScrollWheel");
 
 
 
         if (((transform.position.y >= maxHeight)) && (scrollSp > 0))
         {
             scrollSp = 0;
             transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(XposHH, 0, 0);
         }
         else if ((transform.position.y <= minHeight) && (scrollSp < 0)) 
         {
             scrollSp = 0;
             transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(XposHL, 0, 0);
         }

But I think this tutorial may be able to help you:
