Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Eloquence of the British Senate, Vol. 1 of 2: A Selection of the Best Speeches of the Most Distinguished Parliamentary Speakers, From the Reign of Charles I to the Present Time, With Notes, Biographical, Critical, and Explanatory Besides, it is no more than a piece of justice due to the mighty dead. It is but right we should know what we owe to them, and how far we have improved upon, or fallen short of them. Who could not give almost any thing to have seen Garrick, and Betterton, and Quin? Our politicians are almost as short-lived a race as our players, "who strut and fret an hour upon the stage, and then are heard no more." The event, and the hero of the moment, engross all our attention, and in the vastness of our present views, we entirely overlook the past.
