Excerpt from John Bright
My friend Mr. Barry O'Brien, having composed the following sketch of the public life of John Bright, asked me, for the love I bear him, to prefix a Preface, which I consented to do, although entertaining what I am convinced is a well-grounded objection to the introduction of extraneous matter into the work of another man's hand. But we are seldom free agents, particularly in later life. In one of Bright's speeches, made immediately after his reluctant acceptance of office, there occurs the following moving passage:
It was a dream that I had in my youth - I suppose it must have originated in the thraldom of my schooldays - that as I advanced in life I should find myself more at liberty and less under the control of circumstances or of the opinion of others. I find that was altogether a dream, and that the longer I live the less I seem to be my own master.
