Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life, Letters, and Speeches of Lord Plunket, Vol. 1 of 2 During Lord Plunket's lifetime the office of collecting his speeches for publication was undertaken by Mr. Edward Berwick, who was in every way qualified for it. Himself a distinguished disciple of the great Irish orators, he was also the intimate friend of many of them, and especially of Mr. Grattan and of my grandfather. I sincerely regret that he abandoned the task; but I take this opportunity of thanking him for his kindness to me during the progress of the efforts which I have made, with the same object, but under circumstances in every way less favourable.
