Excerpt from Substance of a Speech Against Political Unions, Delivered in a Debating Society, in the University of Cambridge

I publish this Speech at the desire of some friends quite unconnected with the Society to which it was addressed. It was necessary however to state the nature and occasion of it, because many allusions in it would otherwise be unintelligible. I had wished indeed to put it in another form, and clear it of all circumstances in which the Public can have no interest; but finding that I could not do this without casting the whole anew, I am content to send it forth in its original character. I have only to add that the substance of it was spoken during the second week, I think, in November; and that, since that time, I have done nothing to it but correct the language, condense and complete the arguments, and alter such passages as contained local or personal allusions.
