MISCELLANEOUS WORK S OF THE RIGHT HONOURABLE HENRY GRATTAN. LONDON: PRINTED FOR LONGMAN, HURST, REES, ORME, AND BROWN; AND R. MILLIKEN, DUBLIN. 1822. PREFACE. THIS Volume does not require an introduction.— The pieces which it contains are valuable fragments of Irish politics; they show the temper of the times, the character of the government, and the spirit of the people they throw some light upon the affairs of a misgoverned country, and if they should, at last, convey any useful information to its rulers, they will render a blessing to Ireland, and a benefit to the empire. Dublin, 1822. THE EDITOR. |
