Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speeches of the Right Hon. Henry Grattan, With Prefatory Observations, Vol. 1: The Whole Comprising a Brief Review of the Most Important Political Events in the History of Ireland
The Editor of these Volumes cannot avoid expressing his unfeigned regret, that the Speeches of Mr. Grattan, pronounced upon these oc casions, so congenial to and a?'ording a scope so worthy of the exertions of his splendid oratory, should have been so imperfectly reported; and it must be a source of sorrow to every lover of freedom, and genuine eloquence, that the happiest period which the genius of Mr. Grat tan ever enjoyed, to give full and unlimited scope to the energy of his mind and the soar ings of his fancy, was neglected by those who took the trouble to mutilate his beauties, ex tinguish his fire, and curtail the most precious of his thoughts.
