Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Substance of the Speeches: Delivered by the Right Honourable George Canning, at a Public Dinner, Given to Him on His Visit to Liverpool, in the Month of January 1814 But I should not do fairly by you if I were not to take this opportunity of saying that a service (which certainly I will not pretend to describe as without some burden in itself) has been made light to me, beyond all example, by that institution which your munificence and provident care have established - I mean the Office in London through which your correspondence with your Members is now carried on. I had no pretension, Gentlemen, to this singular mark of your consideration: but neither will it, I hope, be thought presumptuous in me to confess that I might not have been able to discharge the service which I owe you in a way which would have satisfied my own feelings as well as yours; that I might, in spite of all my endeavours, have been guilty of occasional omissions if I had not been provided with some such medium of communication with my constituents. Of an absent and meritorious individual it is as pleasing as it is just to speak well: and I do no more than justice to the Gentleman whom you have appointed to conduct the office in question, (with whom I had no previous acquaintance,) in bearing public testimony to his merit; and in assuring you that it would be difficult to find any one who would surpass him in zeal, intelligence, and industry. Having despatched what it was necessary for me to say on these points, I know, Gentlemen, that it is your wish, and I feel it to be my duty, that I should now proceed to communicate to you my sentiments on the state of public affairs, with the same frankness which has hitherto distinguished all our intercourse with each other. Gentlemen, that duty is one which it does not now require any effort of courage to perform. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
