THE SP EECHES
OF
CHARLES PHILLIPS. ESQ.
BARRIsTER AT LAW.
Correctly printed from the English edition,
edited by himself.
BARRIsTER AT LAW.

YNHE publishers in Offering the above work
to an enlightened and discriminating
public, feel confident of receiving that en-.
couragement which has hitherto been so Ii.
beraliy bestowed upon all productions of me-
rlt. Among the many orators who have dis.
played their eloquence at the bar, beth in
America and in Europe, none have been
more successful in touching the finest feel
ings OF the heart, an6 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 inn.
mortal WASHINGTON, is OF itself a master
piece OF eloquence. In his character OF Be-.
aaparte, ne paints the actions of that won.
dertul parsonage in language at once sub.
lime and imposing /: with all the chastepess
and precision of an historian, he recapitu.
lates his movements from the cradle to the
camp-from the camp 10 the throne-aDd
lastly from the elevated station of an GIN.
Peror to that of an exile and captiye-tberes
by confirming a truth, that power unsunnort
ed by virtue is liable to wither and otcac
Ills speeches on the various Grim. Con. "a.
ses, will be read with lively interest by ali
classes OF readers and the citizens of this
republic, may, while p~erusipg the immorajj.
ties and vices of Europeans, rejoice that in
this country such a crime is almost unknown.
His speeches on the Emancipation Of the
Roman Catholics Of Ireland, need no com.
ment--they speak for themselves--and I'm.
told to mankind the history ola class of men.
who, although denied many political and a.
vii privileges, have always been known to
be the friends of their country in times o.
danger and in battle.-The American rsadsr
must view with Indignation the various ops
preston under which a great portion of that
gallant and patriotic people at present labor .
and ages yet unborn" will lament the exss
istence OF a code which prevents man from,
worsbiping his Creator according to the die.
tatss OF his W conscience.
The publishers, therefore, feeling ANNA.
ted by a desire to present to the American
public, specimens Of sublime and cbaste eios
quence, which has been so often eyerted i,
the cause of benevoIence and the nobiest
rights OF human nature, with respectful dc.
hdence invite The patronage Of all classe.
who are Interested in the display Of national,
social, and forensic oratory.
