Book Description

Excerpt from The Life and Speeches of the Right Hon. John Bright, M. P, Vol. 1 of 2 A task which I have long been desirous of accomplishing is completed by the publication of the present work. That task, although laborious, has been congenial, and I trust that the results of my labour will not go altogether unappreciated by the English-speaking race at home and abroad. My object was to compile full and adequate accounts of the public career and speeches of the greatest Liberal statesman and the greatest Liberal orator of the nineteenth century. Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright stand as public men in a position so exceptional, that no apology is needed for relating the story of their lives while they are still amongst us, especially as I do not, of course, presume to pass judgment upon then labours and character.
