LORD BIRKENHEAD
“ Lord Birkenhead's is the speaking of a very clear mind which knows exactly what it wants to say. It is also the speaking of a mind which has been assiduously cultivated and lias, therefore. the resources of much study and reading to draw upon. Those who have never made speeches and do not know the difficulty of finding the apt word, misled by the pugilistic vigour elf some of Lord Birkenhead’s speeches may easily make the mistake of thinking of 1 1 iin as an unlettered prizefighter in the political ring, whereas in truth he had a shining academic career at Oxford, is a thorough scholar and has at command the cultured elegance of language which conics from learning.”—Lord Hugh Cecil.
