AN UNFETTERED PRESS.
The few sentences, remarks Brougham, with which Sheridan thrilled the House on tho liberty of the Press, in 1810, were worth, perhaps, more than all his elaborated epigrams and forced flowers on the Begum charge, or all his denunciations of Napoleon, “ Give them,” said he, “ a corrupt House of Lords, give them a venal House of Commons, give them a tyrannical Prince, give them a truckling Court, and let me have but an unfettered Press, I will defy them to encroach a hair’s breadth upon the liberties of England.”
