Book Description

Excerpt from Speeches in Parliament, Vol. 1 of 3: Of the Right Honourable William Windham; To Which Is Prefixed, Some Account of His Life It may be proper to apprize the Reader, that three of the speeches in the ensuing collection, viz. those on the Peace of Amiens, Mr. Curwen's Reform Bill, and the Bill for preventing Cruelty to Animals, were corrected by Mr. Windham, and published separately in the form of Pamphlets under his inspection. The five speeches also, on the subject of the Defence of the Country, which immediately follow the speech on the Peace of Amiens, were revised by Mr. Windham, and published together at Norwich in 1804. Of the other speeches, those which originally appeared in Cobbett's Parliamentary Debates, from the commencement of that useful compilation in 1803 till within a few months of Mr. Windham's death, were chiefly seen and corrected by him previous to their publication.
