Bemember me kindly to Mr. Nevill, and I remain, * Yours sincerely, *R. COBDBN. ' You must not trouble yourself to answer this, as I shall look forward to the pleasure of seeing you in Sussex. My wife begs her kind regards.' Mr. Cobden was always anxious I should hear him speak in the House of Commons, and I fre- quently went. I remember his grand speech on China about the ' Lorcha.' He was a most accom- plished and easy speaker, always seeming to find exactly the right word at the right time. H...is voice, though powerful, was not strident or loud — ^at least, it did not appear so — though when he spoke every sentence could be distinctly heard ; there was, indeed, an ease and complete absence of strain about his speaking which rendered it most agreeable to the hearer. An orator of the calibre of Bright or Gladstone he certainly was not, but his speeches, devoid of flowery phrases or spirited declamation, had, nevertheless, a certain convincing power of their own which, I think, more than made up for their lack of studied effect.
