First sentence: WITHIN the memory-not only of the old, but of the middle-aged-is an especially dark page in the history of our country; a page in which the great and overwhelming sufferings of a people, at no time especially favoured by the blessings of prosperity, were written in such soul-harrowing words that the heart of the British nation was aroused, as that of one man, to pity and to succour.
