Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speeches and Addresses
Intemperate as such language is, it is but little more so than the abuse to which he was subjected in consequence of his speech on the subject of temperance, a speech which was generally mis understood and generally misquoted. I have, therefore, included several speeches and one letter on this subject, in order that his attitude towards the question of temperance may be clearly under stood. He himself, in a letter to the Times, ex plained both what he had and what he had not said on that occasion, but inasmuch as this explanation seems to me unnecessary when the words them selves are correctly given and given with their context, I have left the speech to speak for itself.
