Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is deeply to be regretted that more of such mate rial, as is herewith presented, has not been preserved in permanent form. The cause is not very difficult to discover: Eloquence is the purest native gem Ireland possesses - it is what Chief Baron Woulfe said public Opinion in Ireland should be, Racy Of the Soil. It loses much by transplanting from 'its native tongue, vet will compare favorably with the best in any language. Its striking peculiarities are that it is Spontaneous and extemporaneous, so that to preserve and transmit the true utterances Of an Irish orator, he must be followed by a faithful short-hand reporter.
