Excerpt from Historical and Political Addresses 1883-1897
I cannot but feel that there must seem something almost presumptuous in my coming before an American audience to tell them anything about the English Parliament. America is so enlightened, so intellectually keen about everything which is going on throughout the world - the American Press casts so piercing a search-light around the globe, that the average American probably knows as much of our institutions and life in Europe as we do ourselves. Your newspapers spread before you every morning a record of the world's doings - even its most hidden things - the secrets of Cabinets, the private treaty of kings, the schemes of armies, the inner personal history of political man?uvres, to say nothing of the comedies and tragedies of society.
In coming to speak to you therefore on the subject which has been suggested for my lecture to-night, I am oppressed by a double sense of difficulty and doubt.
