Sivu 69 - O'Connell was one of the most remarkable men of his time. He was the first Irish political leader of modern days who professed the faith which may be called the national creed of his people. The leaders of great Irish movements just before his time — the Fitzgeralds, the Tones, and the Emmets — had been, like Grattan himself, members of the Established Church.

Sivu 181 - This remark, and the manner of it, gave me the notion that he was a dull fellow, for it came out in a way which bordered on the ridiculous, so as to excite something like a sneer. I was a little...

Sivu 80 - Lordship has called upon me to explain mine. The question for me now to decide is this. Is a gentleman who happens to be the King's minister to submit to be insulted by any gentleman who thinks proper to attribute to him disgraceful or criminal motives for his conduct as an individual ?
