Excerpt from Speech on Transportation: Delivered in the House of Commons on the 5th May, 1840
Sir,
In submitting to the consideration of the House the motion of which I have given notice, the task which I have to perform is both difficult and painful; difficult on account of the extent of the subject; painful on account of the nature of many of the facts to which it will be my duty to refer. I assure the house, however, that I do not approach this subject without having long and carefully studied it, or without having carefully examined and weighed every opinion and every fact connected with it. I therefore presume to solicit a patient and attentive hearing.
The Report of the Committee to which this motion relates, was laid on the table at the end of the session of 1838.
