Overview

Excerpt from The British Senate, Vol. 2 of 2: Or, a Second Series of Random Recollections of the Lords and Commons Usually Mr. Richards' action is tame in the ex treme, while his elocution is feeble and monotonous. He sometimes talks with passable fluency; at other times he stammers and falters, and corrects and recor rects himself at every tenth or twelfth sentence. He has nothing to boast of in the way of genius or originali ty. He is generally dull. If there be tolerable sense in what he says, it is all the credit which can be given him as a Speaker. He is, however, a man of rather ex tensive information. I have on some occasions admired the intimate knowledge which, on the impulse of the moment, and under unexpected circumstances, I have seen him manifest on historical matters.
