Can we suppose that no effect will be produced from such a com bination? Can we suppose that the nations Of the continent of Europe will not feel, and will not acknowledge, and may they not imitate the example set them this day? I have the honour to witness present here the representative Of one Of the greatest nations in Europe (monsieur Guizot) I hail his presence as an auspicious omen, (cheers,) and I trust that he will convey to his Sovereign and to his Country an adequate representation Of the feelings and the unanimity Of the pre sent meeting. (cheers.) I trust, and why should I doubt? That it will produce its effect. Why should that nation, highly educated, informed as well as any that inhabit the globe, professing substantially the same common creed with us all, - why should not France emulate England in this great undertaking? (cheers) Here are no petty squabbles about islands or divisions Of territory; here is no selfish or sordid motive to divert man from the impulse tis just feelings, or to lead him to seek for himself, or for his country, more than she is justly entitled to; here is a common ground in our endeavours to abate the greatest infamy that ever yet desolated the world. I hope for France, I pray for France, as our first and noblest coadjutor. (cheers.) But are there no other grounds upon which I may be permitted to indulge a sanguine hope? Is it nothing to announce to the world that a meeting has been held here, crowded to suffocation, containing within it not one separate party, great as that might be; not merely the Bishops and Archbishops Of the Church Of England, or those who may be nearly connected with them, but every Species Of Christian, every one who acknowledges the common cause Of Christianity? (cheers) And when I speak Of politics, I have not words to express the sincere gratification and inexpressible pleasure which I derive from seeing those to whom I am opposed in politics taking SO active a part upon the present occasion, and more especially that we are graced by the presence Of one who presides at the head Of this great meeting. (loud cheers.)

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
