Excerpt from The Life and Speeches of the Right Hon. John Bright, M. P, Vol. 1 of 2 The great favour with which the public and the press received the biography of Mr. Gladstone, encouraged me to proceed with the life of Mr. Bright, which may be regarded as a companion work to its predecessor. In the history of Liberalism during our own genera tion, Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Bright have been com plementary forces. The former has been the great ofi'icial exponent of Liberal ideas; while mr.bright has been the great popular leader, first imbuing the multitude with his own principles, and then expound ing them to the Legislature, by which body he has seen them eventually adopted and transformed into law. Probably no other English statesman, looking back upon a political career extending over forty years, was ever able to point to so consistent a course as Mr. Bright has led, or to afirm with equal truth that the cardinal principles of his political creed had been successively accepted and adopted by the various Governments of his time. This much even his opponents may - I may even say must - admit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
