| Summary | "Representative British Orations Volume 4 (of 4)" by John B. Alden is a collection of significant political addresses compiled during the late 19th century. This volume focuses on oratory from notable figures such as Daniel O’Connell and Lord Palmerston, highlighting important themes related to British politics and social issues during the 19th century. The book is designed to provide both historical context and a critical analysis of these speeches, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the development of political discourse in Britain. The opening of this volume provides a foundational context by discussing the legacy of oratory in Britain, particularly through the figure of Daniel O’Connell, known as the "Liberator." It outlines O’Connell’s life, his passionate advocacy for Irish rights, and his significant impact on the political landscape of the time. The text also introduces O'Connell's defense of John Magee in a libel trial, showcasing his rhetorical style, which is characterized by intense emotion and sharp, pointed criticism of his opponents. This opening effectively sets the stage for understanding the nuances of British oratory, as well as the historical backdrop against which these important speeches were delivered.
