CHARLES PHILLIPS, Esq.
BARRIsrER Ar LAW.
Correctly printed from the English edsttoas
edited by himself
BARRIsTER AT LAW.

Il to an enlightened and discriminating
public, feel confident of receiving that en-
ceuragement which has hitherto been so Ii
beraliy bestowed upon all productions of me-
rit. Among the many orators who have dis
played their eloq1ence at the bar, both in
America and in Europe, none have been
more successful in touching the finest feel
lngs OF the heart, anc exciting the noblest
passions OF the soul, than Mr.. Phillips. His
speeches are replete with metaphor, and
possess. in.a great degree, all that felicitous
copiousness OF which the English language
is SO susceptible. His eulogium on the i'm
mortal WASHINGTON. is OF itself master
piece of eloquence. In bis character Of 30.
rsaparte, he paintsthe actions of that wons
derfui parsonage in language at once subs
lime and imposing with all the chasteness
and precision of an historian, be recapitu-
lates bis movements from the cradle to tba
camp-from the camp to the throne-and
lastly, from the elevated station of an EN-.
peror to that.of an exile and captive-there
by confirming truth, that power unsupport
ed by virtue is liable to wither and decay
His speeches On the various Grim. Con. ca.
ses, will be read with lively interest by al
classes of readers and the citizens OF this
republic, may, while perusing the immorali.
ties and vices of Europeans, rejoice that il
this country such crime is almost unknown.
His speeches on the Emancipation of the
Roman Catholics of ireland, need no coin.
ment-they speak for tbemselves-and IN.
fold to mankind the history of a class of men.-
who, although denied many political and eli.
vii privileges, have always been known to
be the friends of their country in times ts
danger and in battle.-The American readt Il
must view with Indignation the various ot,.
pressions under which great portion OF tb:se
gallant and patriotic people at present labor
and ages yet unborn" will lament the ey.
istence of code which prevents man from
worshipng his Creator according TO the die.
tates Of bis ewn conscience.
The publishers, therefore, feeling ANNA.
ted by desire TO present to the American
public, specimens of sublime and chaste elo.
quence, which has been SO often exerted in
the cause of benevolence and the MODEST
rights of human nature, with respectful diff.
hdence invite the patronage of all classes
who are interested in the display of national
social, and forensic oratory.
