What Our Customers Say...
Description
Leather Binding
The fourth edition of the collected speeches of Irish orator, politician, wit, lawyer and judge John Philpot Curran, who held the office of Master of Rolls in Ireland. First published in 1805.
Curran was renowned for his representation in 1780 of Father Neale, a Catholic priest whipped by Anglo-Irish Lord, Viscount Doneraile, and later for his defence of United Irishmen facing capital charges of sedition and treason.
Curran was widely admired in his day and after, with Lord Byron saying 'I have heard that man speak more poetry than I have seen written', and Karl Marx describing him as the greatest people's advocate of the eighteenth century.
Signed by William Henry Curran, the son of the subject, with the inscription 'Curran' to title page head,
