Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Land League Proposal: A Statement for Honest and Thoughtful Men
Address delivered in the Free Trade Hall, Manchester, on 2781' May, 7882.
The duties of a Chairman upon occasions like this are ordinarily of a trivial character. To introduce the lecturer, preserve order, and submit to the penalty of a vote of thanks for not occupying too much of the attention of the audience, is generally the routine of a Chairman's 'duty. I would, however, be underrating the importance of this vast meeting, and neglecting a duty which'i owe to' the interests of justice and to the cause of peace, if, in face of the present crisis, I should hesitate to in?ict myself upon your attention for a longer period than is convenient to myself or perhaps agreeable to you. To my friend, Mr George, I feel certain I need not apologise for trespassing upon his time and subject, and I am in hopes that my motives in dealing with the various intensified phases of the present situation will be appreciated by you to the extension of an indulgent hearing.
