Excerpt from Speeches and Addresses: Right Honourable Frederick Temple, Earl of Dufferin, K. P., G. C. M. G., K. C. B., F. R. S

The Speeches contained in this volume were delivered at various times during a period of more than thirty years, and they embrace subjects of very diverse character. The Editor has had no choice but to arrange them in chronological order.

Of the Political Speeches, most interest will probably attach to those dealing with the Irish Land Question. As a large Irish landowner, Lord Dufferin found himself, at an early age, face to face with the many difficulties incident to the tenure of land in Ireland, and he has spared no pains to make himself acquainted with the subject in all its bearings. He is well known as an earnest and thoughtful speaker and writer on the systems of land tenure in Ireland, and the Editor has felt himself justified in devoting a considerable space to a subject of such especial interest at the present day.

The Speeches on the Repeal of the Paper Duties and on the Grievances of the East India Company"s Officers are included, as relating to matters of much importance and of general interest.
