Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speeches of the Late Right Honourable Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Vol. 1: Several Corrected by Himself
No exertion has been spared to collect and' arrange accurate accounts of every speech delivered by the late Mr. Sheridan and those efforts proving successful, it may boldly be asserted, that pages more abound ing with brilliant wit, depth, solidity, and' sound argument, have never been presented to the public. Many of these speeches have been candidly admitted, by all parties, to exhibit every oratorical effect the human mind is capable of suggesting; but as Mr. Sheridan possessed, in a most extraordinary manner, the power of giving, by the happy turns of his wit, interest to subjects of the dryest and dullest nature it has been con sidered that the public should be in pos session, not only of those which are most celebrated, but of every speech and opinion that could be collected.
