About the Book

Excerpt from Literary Addresses, Delivered at Various Popular Institutions

And how do I stand before you to-day? Invested with the highest dignity which it is in your power to bestow - honoured with your confidence - wel comed with a hearty and generous sincerity, which almost overpowers me, - I am to all of you person ally unknown. For the first time, I have visited your ancient and renowned city. I might almost say, for the first time I have crossed your borders. To what, then, do I owe the proud position in which you have placed mei2 It is, I would fain hope and believe, because you have faith in my honesty and integrity of purpose - because you would mark your approval of the course which, as a public man I have pursued, and would encourage me to persevere in it - and, I trust I may add, because you are of Opinion that my labours in another and scarcely less arduous field have not been unattended with success, but have produced useful results. How deeply gratifying to me. Therefore, must be the honour which you have conferred upon me, and the reception which I have just experienced at your hands. I trust you will not deem me guilty of vanity in thus dwelling upon them.

You little know, gentlemen, you little know how much a public man, situated as I am, is in need of such proofs of approbation and encouragement - how grateful they are to him - for how many painful struggles and bitter hours they afford a more than entire compensation. Some of you may one day be in a position to feel the truth of what I say. As natives of a free country, you can even now all understand how infinitely dearer they are to one placed as I am - how infinitely more valuable - than those mere honorary titles and partial rewards which a crown could confer.

There are yet other considerations which render, in my Opinion, such honours as those you have be stowed upon me of the greatest value.' It is no less to others who are engaged in the performance of what they consider a public duty, than to myself, that they serve as an encouragement to persevere. They make many a man feel that, whatever his abilities may be, if he pursue with honesty and straightforwardness the path of duty, without turning to the right or to the left - neither intimidated by menace nor seduced by bribes - his countrymen are ready to cheer him onwards in his arduous, and too often painful, task.
