an important part, and finally in the
trial OF Warren Hastings. he conducted
what was, in many respects. the greatest
state affair Of his career and what in
cluded the greatest Of all his speeches
The narrative of the crimes of Hastings,
as Macaulay says, made Burkes blood
boil, and never during al his part IN the
fourteen weary years of the trial did his
energ cease or his righteous animosity
lessen In intensity.
In 1880 Burke startled many OF his
friends by the publication of his Re
Elections on the Revolution Of France. ;"
WindEam wrote of him: What shall
be said Of the state of things. when it is
remembered that the writer is a man
decried, prosecuted. and prescribed. not
being much valued in his own party, and
by half the nation considered as little
better than a madman?"
And. indeed. the electrified country
nearly justified these statements. There
was at once an end of his political
friendships and from that day his public
career may be said 10 have begun TO de-

THE TOURIST.


He wished to wait upon the King.
His wife ard daughters thought
An audience
Would be immense.
And so for one he sought.
He found that it would take a month
To catch the King alone;
And ask a week
To even speak
Upon the royal phone.
And so he went upon his way:
Called up no King, forsooth.
He spent no dime
Nor any time
Around a stuffy booth.
