Página 1 - I have loved the University of Oxford with a deep and passionate love, and as long as I breathe that attachment will continue...
Página 17 - ... represented by Oxford and that which is represented by Lancashire. My desire is that they should know and love one another. If I have clung to the representation of the University with desperate fondness, it was because I would not desert that post in which I seem to have been placed. I have not abandoned it. I have been dismissed from it, not by Academical, but by political agencies.
Página 1 - I might, perhaps, call an overweening exercise of power, into the vortex of mere politics. Well, you will readily understand why, as long as I had a hope that the zeal and kindness of my friends might keep me in my place, it was impossible for me to abandon them. Could they have returned me by...
Página 1 - I breathe, that attachment will continue ; if my affection is of the smallest advantage to that great, that ancient, that noble institution, that advantage, such as it is, and it is most insignificant, Oxford will possess as long as I live.
Página 8 - In describing the result of the repeal of the paper duty a little after this,1 he used glowing words. ' Never was there a measure so conservative as that which called into vivid, energetic, permanent, and successful action the cheap press of this country.' It was also a common radical opinion of that hour that if the most numerous classes acquired the franchise as well as cheap newspapers, the reign of peace would thenceforth be unbroken. In a people of bold and martial temper such as are the people...
Página 17 - We see represented in that ancient institution — represented more nobly, perhaps, and more conspicuously than in any other place, at any rate with more remarkable concentration — the most prominent features that relate to the past of England. I come into South Lancashire, and I find here around me an assemblage of different phenomena. I find development of industry ; I find growth of enterprise ; I find progress of social philanthropy ; I find prevalence of toleration ; and I find an ardent desire...
Página 1 - I had so long ago devoted my best care and attachment. But, by no act of mine, I am free to come among you. And having been thus set free, I need hardly tell you that it is with joy, with thankfulness, and enthusiasm, that I now, at this eleventh hour, a candidate without an address, make my appeal to the heart and the mind of South Lancashire, and ask you to pronounce upon that appeal.
Página 17 - I seem to have been placed. I have not abandoned it. I have been dismissed from it, not by academical, but by political agencies. I don't complain of those political influences by which I have been displaced. The free constitutional spirit of the country requires that the voice of the majority should prevail. I hope the voice of the majority will prevail in South Lancashire. I do not for a moment complain that it should have prevailed in Oxford. But, gentlemen, I come now to ask you a question whether,...
Página 16 - I have endeavoured to serve that University with my whole heart ; and with the strength, or weakness, or whatever faculties God has given me, it has been my daily and my nightly care to promote as well as I could her interests, and to testify to her, as well as I could, my love. Long has she borne with me. Long, in spite of active opposition, did she resist every effort to displace me. At last she has changed her mind.
Página 17 - I may have feebly, striven to unite in my insignificant person that which is represented by Oxford and that which is represented by Lancashire. My desire is that they should know and love one another.
