Excerpt from book: LIFE OF JOHN B. GOFGH. The readers of Mr. Gough' s autobiography, and the still larger class to whom he has heen made known by his public addresses, having expressed a desire for further facts with reference to Mr. Gough's life and labours than what have already appeared before the world, the following narrative has been drawn up, not to gratify an idle curiosity, but to stimulate, to interest, and in- struct. Mr. Gough is public property?his history is the history of a cause?all that concerns him concerns it?his triumphs are its triumphs?the greater is his success, the greater is the success of a work as noble as any that ever fired a human heart, or required the entire devotion of a human life.

We make no ambitious attempt to Decide on Mr. Gough's merits, to assign him his proper place amidst orators living or dead, or even fully to detail a career which has been won...
