Opis

Excerpt from The Works of the Right Honourable Edmund Burke, Vol. 3: With an Introduction He pleaded the cause of humanity on behalf of those imprisoned for debt, victims of the absurdities of our laws,' and is prepared to consult the interests of the people and to gratify their humours, but cannot for their amusement act the part of a tyrant. Then expressing his gratitude for the Opportunity which he had enjoyed of rendering some assistance to great and laudable designs, he concludes, If I have had my share in any measure giving quiet to private property, and private conscience if by my vote I have aided in securing to families the best possession, peace'; if I have joined in reconciling kings to their subjects, and subjects to their prince; if I have assisted to loosen the foreign holdings of the citizen, and taught him to look for his protection to the laws of his country, and for his comfort to the goodwill of his countrymen if I have thus taken my part with the best of men in the best of their actions, I can shut the book I might wish to read a page or two more, but this is enough for my measure. I have not lived in vain.' It has been said that never before nor since has such a speech been delivered on the hustings, and it was considered by Sir Samuel Romilly the finest piece of oratory in our language.
