Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John Bright My friend Mr. Barry O´Brien, having composed the following sketch of the public life of John Bright, asked me, for the love I bear him, to prefix a Preface, which I consented to do, although entertaining what I am convinced is a well-grounded objection to the introduction of extraneous matter into the work of another man´s hand. But we are seldom free agents, particularly in later life. In one of Bright´s speeches, made immediately after his reluctant acceptance of office, there occurs the following moving passage: It was a dream that I had in my youth - I suppose it must have originated in the thraldom of my schooldays - that as I advanced in life I should find myself more at liberty and less under the control of circumstances or of the opinion of others. I find that was altogether a dream, and that the longer I live the less I seem to be my own master. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
