•' Freedom's battle, once begun, — Bequeath'd from bleeding sire to Though baffled oft, is ever won."

Preface

During their many years in the book business, the publishers have received numerous orders for che present work. But, as the book had never been published in America, the orders could only be filled at great expense. These facts, together with the daily increasing Irish national spirit among Irishmen, and their descendants in this country, have decided them to undertake the task of supplying, at a reasonable price, a want that has long been felt. They ardently hope that their endeavor may haply contribute toward arousing, to an even higher enthusiasm, the aspirations of their fellow-countrymen. That the " Speeches from the Dock" may reecho through every lyceum, college and household, fanning into a blaze the glowing embers of that patriotic spirit of Irish national independence, is their most earnest desire.
