The Opinions of Sir Robert Peel

Excerpt from The Opinions of Sir Robert Peel: Expressed in Parliament and in Public Tm: object of this work is to collect and arrange, in the form best calculated for ready reference, the Opinions the present Prime Minister of England has expressed on the great constitutional questions of the age, not only of late years, but from the earliest down to the most recent period of his public career. Subsidiary to this design of forming a code of Sir Robert Peel's Opinions, which should also be a sort of dictionary of general political knowledge, it has been the object of the Editor to bring together all the finer passages of the Premier's orations - all the more important points of his official expositions - his opinions of the character and con duct of his cotemporaries - his personal explanations and defences - his views of public life and of public meng - in short, to collect from the hundreds of speeches he has de livered in parliament and without its walls, those passages which are likely to be considered of most interest by the general reader, and by which also future generations are likely to test the fame of Sir Robert Peel as an orator, a statesman, and a logician.
