Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous American Statesmen Orators, Past and Present, Vol. 1: With Biographical Sketches and Their Famous Orations "Oratory," said Abraham Lincoln, "is the great power that moves nations to do and dare; it was oratory that wrecked Rome and made Christianity live." None of our public men better understand the power of oratory than did Lincoln, and he estimated it from its highest plane. He would not have been a great orator in Rome when Roman people were swayed by the impassioned eloquence of their orators to deify to-day and crucify to-morrow, but he was one of the greatest of American orators of the rare type that always appeals to the considerate judgment of mankind. The power of the impassioned oratory that swayed the ancients in the days of Demosthenes has been impaired by the growing in culture and thoughtfulness of the people of all nations. There are occasions when it is yet most appropriate and impressive, but they are rare. It at times asserts itself in great trials in our courts of justice, but its impressions speedily perish, unless they appeal to some enduring human sympathy. Senator Depew truthfully says, "Eloquence is the master element in politics," but political oratory in this country, like the political oratory of every other civilized country of the world, has materially changed in its most effective attributes. In the days of Thomas Corwin of Ohio, and Sargent S. Prentiss of Mississippi, the political orator was the sole dependence of political parties. The newspaper was then a luxury and did not reach the masses of the people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous American Statesmen and Orators, Past and Present, Vol. 2 of 6: With Biographical Sketches and Their Famous Orations Another reason why we loved him was that he first loved us. I do not believe a ruler ever lived who loved his people more sincerely than he. Nay, I do not believe the ruler ever lived who loved his ene mies SO well as he. All the insults heaped upon him by the foes Of the government and the haters Of his principles, purposes, and person, never seemed to gen erate in him a feeling Of revenge or stir him to thoughts and deeds Of bitterness. Throughout the terrible war over which he presided with such calm ness and such power he never lost Sight Of the golden day, far in the indefinite future, when peace and the restoration Of fraternal harmony should come as the result and reward Of all his labors. His - heart em braced in its catholic sympathies the misguided men who were plotting his destruction, and I have no doubt that he could and did Offer the prayer Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do! We felt - we knew - that he suffered a thousand deaths in the destruction Of the brave lives he had summoned to the country's defence, that he sympathized with every mourner in this mourning land, that he called us to no sacrifice which he would not gladly have made himself, that his heart was with the humble and the oppressed, and that he had no higher wish than to see his people peaceful, prosperous, and happy. He was One Of us - one with us. Circumscribed in his affectionate regard by no creed or party, or caste, or color, he received everybody, talked with every body, respected everybody, loved everybody, and loved to serve everybody.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous American Statesmen Orators, Past and Present, Vol. 5 of 6: With Biographical Sketches and Their Famous Orations Lowell, James Russell, a distinguished American diplomat, orator and man of letters, born in Cambridge, Mass., February 22, 1819; died there August 12, 1891. He began the study of law, but soon abandoned it for literature, and presently attracted favorable notice as a poet. He succeeded Longfellow as professor of modern languages at Harvard College in 1855, and from 1857 to 1862 was editor of the "Atlantic Monthly." Both as poet and essayist he had now won distinction, and in 1877 he was appointed Minister to Spain, remaining at Madrid in that capacity till 1880. From 1880 to 1885 he was Minister to England, where he was exceedingly popular, both as a writer and for personal reasons. He delivered many public addresses and ranked among the most polished, scholarly orators of his time. Beside many volumes of poems and essays he published a collection of his public discourses, entitled "Democracy and Other Addresses," in 1887. Oration At The 250th Anniversary Of The Founding Of Harvard College. Delivered At Cambridge, November 8, 1886. It seems an odd anomaly that while respect for age and deference to its opinions have diminished, and are still sensibly diminishing among us, the relish of antiquity should be more pungent and the value set upon things merely because they are old should be greater in America than anywhere else. It is merely a sentimental relish, for ours is a new country in more senses than one, and like children when they are fancying themselves this or that, we have to play very hard in order to believe that we are old.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous American Statesmen and Orators, Past and Present, Vol. 4 of 6: With Biographical Sketches and Their Famous Orations What a happy conception, then, was it for Congress to apply this simple rule, that the will of the majority shall govern, to the settlement of the question of domestic slavery in the Territories! Congress is neither to legislate slavery into any Territory or State, nor to exclude it therefrom, but to leave the people thereof perfectly free to form and regulate their domestic institutions in their own way, subject only to the Constitution of the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous American Statesmen Orators, Past and Present, Vol. 2 of 6: With Biographical Sketches and Their Famous Orations Antoine Pierre Joseph Marie Barnave was born at Grenoble in Dauphiny, October 22, 1761. He studied law, and, at the age of twenty-two, made himself favorably known by a discourse pronounced before the local Parliament on the Division of Political Powers. On May 5, 1789, the States-General were convoked at Versailles, and Barnave was chosen deputy of the Tiers Etat for his native province. Aside from Mirabeau, to whom, on several occasions, he was opposed, Barnave was the most powerful orator of the National Assembly. After the fall of the Bastille, he advocated the suspensive veto, the system of two Chambers and the establishment of trial by jury in civil causes. In 1790, Barnave became President of the Assembly. On the arrest of the king and the royal family at Varennes, Barnave was one of the three appointed to conduct them back to Paris. His public career came to an end in 1792 with the close of the Constituent Assembly. Shortly afterward he was arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of being in sympathy with the royal family. He was transferred to Paris in 1793, and died by the guillotine on the 30th of November of that year. Representative Democracy Against Majority Absolutism Delivered in the National Assembly, August 11, 1791 It Is not enough to desire to be free - one must know how to be free. I shall speak briefly on this subject, for after the success of our deliberations, I await with confidence the spirit and action of this Assembly. I only wish to announce my opinions on a question, the rejection of which would sooner or later mean the loss of our liberties.
