Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Speeches of the Right Honourable John Bright, M. P, Vol. 2 of 1 The publication of this work brings to completion a task which I have long been desirous of accomplishing. That task, although laborious, has been congenial, and I trust that the result 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 their labours and character. Indeed, in this respect I attempt less of formal criticism than may be discovered in the leading reviews and newspapers. It has been rather my desire to collect for the reader accurate and exhaustive materials upon which he may base his own political, personal, and historical estimates. The great favour with which the public and the press have received the biography of Mr. Gladstone, encouraged me to proceed with the life of Mr. Bright, which may be regarded as a companion work to its predecessor. In the history of Liberalism during our own generation, Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright have been complementary forces.
