Excerpt from An Australian Orator: Speeches, Political, Social, Literary and Theological, Delivered in the Parliament of New South Wales, and on the Public Platform A few of the following speeches were published in Sydney, New South Wales, where they were delivered, most of them in the Parliament of the country. They were very favourably received in Australia, both by Press and people, and sold rapidly. The small volume then published is now considerably enlarged by the addition of several speeches, delivered since the date of the publication referred to, and is now published in London simply to satisfy an apparent curiosity which, in England, has grown of late, and which seems greatly to concern itself with all that pertains to the young, vigorous, wealthy, and rapidly progressing colonies of Australia.
