1 § Grattan Speech
§. Mr Grattan and his anti radical speech in the
[British or] Irish House of Commons of 1794
The same interests produce the same endeavours.
in the same end in the same place situation at the same time
the same endeavours produce the same professors, the
same pretences, the same arguments, the same language
and with no more than their which the varieties
of talent can will of course produce, the same language.
We have seen the Cabinet with the Prince Regent
Lord Lamport, Lord Castlereagh, Lord Sidmouth, Mr
Canning with them et ceteras, all concurring on pronouncing
that to be certain what is its nature is impossible.
They are not the first who have done so: done so
on a similar occasion, and for the same purpose
Before them, precursor in the same track of argument
may be seen Mr Grattan. Mr Grattan in his original the selected
not instrument and representative of that same Lord Charlemont:
that same Mr Grattan, on whom into whose pocket at the expense
of his fellow countrymen of that same people his contempt and scorn not to say abhorrence of whom as
shall be depicted pourtray by his own pen in such lively colours
we shall contemporaries saw fifty thousand pound in an
lumping arm forced — he resisting all the time with m a
les pertinacity not exceeded by that exhibited by
a Speaker who fired into a his chair or an Archbishop into
his throne. Fifty thousand pound of the peoples money?
and for what? For yielding giving effect without any the smallest
sacrifice in any shape in common with all his countrymen
to the suggestions of self-regarding interest suggestions by a consent perfectly
perfectly irreproachable
indeed but not accompanied
in any class
by any the smallest
sacrifice
Note (a)
To a long and very
productive account of
this reluctance see
the work of Mr Hardy
his fellow labourer
in the vineyard of Lord
Charlemont.
