Excerpt from The Public Letters of John Bright

I think it necessary to state, in justice to Mr. Bright, that he is in no degree responsible for the publication of this volume. He has, it is true, given his consent to it, but so far from his having originated the work in any way, the collection was made and completed before any communication on the subject was made 'to him. Appreciation of the style and contents of the letters, and regard for the character and services of Mr. Bright, have led to the production of the book, and' it is given to the world in the belief that it will prove an acceptable addition to the literature of the country; comprising, as it does, the written declarations of one Who is confessedly a master of the English language, and containing ideas which have helped to mould the political thought of a nation.
