Excerpt from A Review of Mr. Bright's Speeches London by Mr. Macmillan include speeches on nearly every important topic which during the last quarter of a century has enlisted the attention of England. The selection and editing of them was assigned to Professor Thorold Rogers, lately Professor of Political Economy at Oxford, now ejected from his chair because of his Liberalism. His task demanded a good knowledge of politics, exact culture, and not a little common sense. It has been well done. Mr. Bright himself has revised the text, and, on the whole, the book offers us such a record of a great career, and such a monument of eloquence as few orators, ancient or modern, have been able to give to the world.
