Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays From the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews: With Addresses and Other Pieces Ducted on proper principles, and with a view to the general result, I am very desirous that what I have to say should not lose the force I wish it to carry, by coming before you mixed up with my own imperfections as a speaker - and I should be very sorry that the real interest of those topics on which I mean to beg your attention, Should be frittered away in unmeaning or hyperbolical ex pressions, which, in the excitement of the moment, I might have the bad taste to think very eloquent, but which would really have no other effect than to distract attention from the plain common sense of the matter.
