searching and impartial life of Sheridan will be a real addition to history and literature.” When visiting Dublin to see the house in which Sheridan was born, I was surprised that no commemorative tablet was on the outside of it. Such a tablet has been affixed to the house in London where his last years were passed. I was gratified to observe, however, that the citizens of Dublin consider that no monument is required to perpetuate Sheridan's fame. Doubtless, they entirely agree with what Rückert wrote of Lessing : 14 " Ibm cin Denkmal zu errichten braucht es nicht -Er hat's gethan." “For him, no monument is needed; He has raised his own.” *** A full report of the reply of Sheridan to the defence made by the counsel for Warren Hastings, forms the Appendix to the second volume of this biography. That speech, which is noteworthy, both for its forensic skill and oratorical power, has not appeared either in any work dealing with Sheridan's career, or in his collected speeches.
