66 'principles, as forming a Manual for future mi"nisters, on all questions of commercial and inter "national policy." As so much had been said and written respecting the French Speech, delivered by Mr. Huskisson, in the year 1790, at the "Société de 1789," and as the object and character of that speech had been grossly misrepresented, it became desirable that it should have a place in this collection. Even the immediate friends of Mr. Huskisson did not, however, possess a copy; and it was only after a diligent search, that the Editor at length found it amongst the mass of tracts connected with the early period of the French revolution preserved in the British Museum. It is inserted, with the Prospectus of the Society, in the Appendix; together with some Speeches addressed by Mr. Huskisson to his Constituents at Liverpool and Chichester, and also one, which will be read with much interest, delivered by him at the Public Meeting for erecting a Monument to the late James Watt. To Mr. Murray, who, with his wonted liberality, has allowed him to insert the Pamphlet, written in 1810, on the Currency Question, which forms an important commentary on Mr. Huskisson's Speeches upon that intricate subject, the Editor is greatly indebted. His grateful acknowledgments are also due to Sir Robert Peel, for the readiness with which he has consented to allow the fine head of Mr. Huskisson, painted for him by Sir Thomas Lawrence, to be engraved for this work.
