Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speeches of the Managers and Counsel in the Trial of Warren Hastings, Vol. 1 The Trial of Warren Hastings, not only is interesting to us at the present day as an instance of proceedings on an impeachment by the House of Commons for high crimes and misdemeanors in office, but will always be regarded as honourable to the country from the motives which originated it and the purposes it was intended to serve. For, whatever other feelings mingled in the prosecution, it was mainly brought about by the generous sympathy of at least one great and noble mind, enkindling that of the nation at large, in the alleged oppression of a remote people, unallied in race, history or religion, and even uncomplaining of their own wrongs. And no object could be nobler than that it aimed at; for its purpose was, at the first birth of an empire destined to embrace nearly a third part of the population of the globe, to purify the principles of its government from the taint of imputed faithlessness and cupidity. And, though generations are passed away since this great public prosecution agitated the minds of all classes in this country, it deserves no less consideration now, when events such as have of late occurred in India force us to trace out with all anxiety the causes, remote as well as immediate, which may have given them birth. But there is another nature of interest attaching to the trial of Warren Hastings, and which appeals more directly to all cultivated intellects - the interest we feel in the efforts of genius of the highest character, exerted in the conduct of the prosecution, and especially displaying itself in eloquence, the fame of which has reached our own day, as of unprecedented brilliancy.
