Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speeches of Lord Erskine, Vol. 2: While at the Bar The trial of Mr. John Stockdale, of Piccadilly, is so immediately connected with the well-known impeachment of Warren Hastings, Governor-General of India, that very little preface is necessary for the illustration of Mr. Erskine´s defence of him. When the Commons of Great Britain ordered that impeachment, the articles were prepared by Burke, who had the lead in all the inquiries which led to it, and, instead of being drawn up in the usual dry method of legal accusation, they were expanded into great length, and were characterized by the fervid and affecting language which distinguishes all the writings of that extraordinary person. The articles so prepared, instead of being confined to the records of the House of Commons, until they were carried up to the Lords for trial, were printed and sold in every shop in the kingdom, without question or obstruction by the managers of the impeachment or the House of Commons, and undoubtedly, from the style and manner of their composition, made a very considerable impression against the accused.
