G 82 Lord Brougham^ in his speech in the House of Liords^ af- firmed with great warmth that he ^* valued the freedom of the City conferred upon him by the Corporation as greater than almost any other honour he enjoyed.^'. After denuding the assertion of the absurd exaggeration and extravagance with which; in common with his other statements^ it pleased his lordship to dress it, I presume there is enough of sin- cerity left in this newly coroneted Lord to permit us to be- lieve that he really do...es feel it an honour to be enrolled in the list of worthies whose names have for centuries graced our civic records. So, Sir, have thought our Nelsons and our Jervises, our Wellingtons and our Abercrombies, our Peels and our Greys, ourCamdens and our Denmans,our Howards and our Clarksons. During the war, the Common Council of London were proud to honour — if they could not reward — the valour ; to acknow- ledge — if they could not repay — the services, of the nation^s heroes both by sea and land* Upwards of £10,000 in twenty years did the Common Council expend in accompanying their freedom and votes of thanks with gold boxes and orna- mented swords to the successftil champions of their countiy's honour, or for monuments to those who had fallen in her de- fence.
