Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, Vol. 172: January and April, 1891
We venture to say of this description of Plunket that, although it might be di?icult to take exception to any single expression in it, the criticism conveys upon the whole a too depreciatory judgment. Even from the notes to Mr. Lecky's own volumes evidence can be adduced which shows Plunket to have been a man of finer genius, of more ardent nature, and more varied talent, than this picture would lead us to suppose It 1s cemin that every allusion 1n the memoirs of his contemporaries to this great orator and lawyer, of whom Lord John Russell has stated that he excelled all the orators he had ever listened to.
