Miscellaneous Writings and Speeches — Volume 4

The book is the miscellaneous writings and speeches of lord macaulay. It has described about the lord macaulay's speeches this book. It was most reluctantly that I determined to suspend, during the last autumn, a work which is the business and the pleasure of my life, in order to prepare these Speeches for publication; and it is most reluctantly that I now give them to the world. I have only, in conclusion, to beg that the readers of this Preface will pardon an egotism which a great wrong has made necessary, and which is quite as disagreeable to myself as it can be to them.
