Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Masterpieces: Early Speeches, Springfield Speech, Cooper Union Speech, Inaugural Addresses, Gettysburg Address, Selected Letters, Lincoln's Lost Speech This biding his time to abolish slavery has almost ih explicably raised the question whether Lincoln really cared to put an end to the vile traffic, or whether he merely used the Emancipation edict as a war measure tactically directed against the South in rebellion. We need hardly argue the point with those who have raised it, since nothing, we hold, is plainer in the entire history of Lincoln's career than his sympathy for the slave and his abhorrence of an institution that kept him in a hated and cruel bondage. He was not, it is true, a negrophilist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Little Masterpieces: Representative Speeches Entering, with all his heart, into the cause of liberty, his ability, patriotism, and power with the pen, naturally drew upon him a large participation in the most important concerns. Wherever he was, there was found a soul devoted to the cause, power to defend and maintain it, and willingness to incur all its hazards. In 17 74 he published a Summary View of the Rights of British America, a valuable production among those intended to Show the dangers which threatened the liberties Of the country, and to encourage the people in their defence. In June 1775 he was elected a member Of the Continental Congress, as successor to peyton randolph, who had retired on account Of ill health, and took his seat in that body on the 21st of the same month. And now, fellow citizens, without pursuing the biography Of these illustri ous men further, for the present, let us turn our attention to the most promi nent act of their lives, their participation in the declaration OF IN dependence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches, Lectures and Letters These Speeches and Lectures have been collected into a volume at the earnest and repeated requests of the personal friends and the followers of Mr. Phillips. In committing them to the Publisher, he wrote: - "I send you about one half of my speeches which have been reported during the last ten years. Put them into a volume, if you think it worth while. Four or five of them ('Idols, ' 'The Election, ' 'Mobs and Education, ' 'Disunion, ' 'Progress, ') were delivered in such circumstances as made it proper I should set down beforehand, substantially, what I had to say. The preservation of the rest you owe to phonography; and most of them to the unequalled skill and accuracy, which almost every New England speaker living can attest, of my friend, J. M. W. Yerrinton. The first speech, relating to the murder of Lovejoy, was reported by B. F. Hallett, Esq. As these reports were made for some daily or weekly paper, I had little time for correction. Giving them such verbal revision as the interval allowed, I left the substance and shape unchanged. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Modern Short Speeches written by James Milton O'Neill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Short Speeches: Ninety-Eight Complete Examples Since the publication of Models of Speech Composition, there have come to me and to the publishers, many statements concerning a need for such a collection as the one here presented. Such expressions have called for a small volume to sell for a relatively low price, and in general to fit a simpler situation than that for which Models of Speech Composition was designed. Our first plan was to try to serve this need with an abridged edition of the Models, but on further considera tion, it was decided to make a new collection to be issued under a different title. We decided to use all of the material in the Models that seemed to be well fitted to this new volume, and to add sufficient other examples to give a complete col lection of simple short speeches. In this collection, as will be observed, all of the speeches are short. They are all mod ern, none having been delivered before 1890. Of course all of the speeches are complete. The forensic and legislative speeches, formal eulogies, sermons, and the longer and more elaborate examples of the other types, have been left out. The aim has been to present as large a number as possible of excellent examples of short, simple, dignified speeches of the kinds that are so frequently required of almost all col lege and university students - in fact of almost all men and women today who take any active part in the world in which they live. This volume is devoted to that type of pub lic speaking which all intelligent people not only can learn how to do well, but should learn how to do well if they wish to prepare at all adequately for an active and useful life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays and Speeches The truly great character must unite unusual strength and determination with great gentleness. My boy was imperious. He recognized no superior on earth, and yet was the tender and intimate friend of the weak and hum ble. I have taken him with me among the greatest in the nation and looked in vain for any evidence in him of awe or even curiosity. He has taken me, asking me to help them, among the poor and lowly of earth. He loved his friends, and but recently told his mother that our house was all through the coming years to be the stopping-place for his college friends passing through the city. How grateful our lonely hearts will be to them now if they will only accept this invitation and sleep in his room and fill for a little time the empty chair.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Magic Speech Flower, or Little Luke and His Animal Friends IT was June and it was morning. The sky was clear and the sun shone bright and warm. The still air was filled with the sweet odor of blossom ing flowers. To little Luke, sitting on the door step of the farmhouse and looking out over the fresh fields and green meadows, the whole earth seemed brimful of happiness and joy. From the bough of an apple tree on the lawn O-pee-chee the Robin chanted his morning song. Te rill, te roo, the sky is blue, sang he.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selected Speeches: With Introductory Notes We all wish to leave behind us the memorial more lasting than brass of which the poet speaks, and I think we would all prefer to be remembered by a portrait rather than by an epitaph. This book is my portrait. I have put all of myself into these speeches. And I would like to think that when I am dead those who come after me and are for any reason interested in the story of my life will be able to form a judgment for themselves about me, and so far as possible judge me by my own words and actions. I must add a word as to the forensic speeches. A speech in a criminal or civil case is meant to secure a particular result, the verdict or the judgment, as the case may be; and its purpose is wholly fulfilled when that result is obtained. Here the art of rhetoric is at its highest; but it is not easy to choose forensic speeches for reproduction. Many are so full of detail which was well understood by the judge or jury to whom they were addressed that they cannot be appreciated or enjoyed by those who have not heard the evidence.

Download or read book Famous Speeches written by Herbert Paul and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Speeches: Selected and Edited With Introductory Notes A selection of speeches ought to include specimens of every class, so that no kind of oratory Should be altogether un represented. There have always been, perhaps in the nature of the case there must always be, at least two forms of rhetoric, often typified by the examples of Demosthenes and Cicero. There is the 'keen, terse, argumentative style, to be found in the great Athenian. There is the elaborate, or ornamental, decorative kind, of Which Cicero was the most consummate master, which aims less at the achievement of an immediate object than at the production of a general result. Neither kind can be excluded from any really representative series. Yet it must not be supposed that the two sorts of Speaking can always be separated, or that they are never found in the same speech. There must be some general proposition at the back of every practical scheme. There must be some particular inference to be drawn from every general rule. Much as the characters of speeches may vary, they have the common element of being all made for persuasion. A speech which does not persuade is useless. There are, how ever, examples of the eloquence which results from intense personal conviction, and has no ulterior motive, the eloquence of feeling.

Download or read book Sprague s Speeches written by William C. Sprague and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sprague's Speeches: A Collection of After-Dinner Speeches, and Miscellaneous Addresses Some of my friends have in unguarded moments told me that they liked my speeches. Encouraged by these expressions, and actuated by a commercial spirit, I venture to put in book form some of the children of my brain that, having once been born' and received a name and some little attention from admiring friends, have served no further purpose than to fill dusty pigeonholes in my desk and lumber up nooks and corners of my home and my ofl'ice, which should be reserved for better things. Some little experience in marketing books among young men has shown me that there is a demand for every-day speeches, on every-day topics, made by every-day men. Speeches by Pitt, Curran, Webster, Calhoun, Phillips, Beecher, and other men of like caliber, will continue to be a staple in the market for many generations to come; but the speeches of these giants of the rostrum and forum are a little too much for the average young man who wants some suggestions and inspiration in the direction of speech-making.' Speeches by Hezekiah Smithers, of P0 dunk, Ky., will sell well along side of the great speeches Of Daniel Webster, because Smithers has' a way of saying things that can be to a certain degree imitated with profit by the common, average man. It is in the belief, somewhat presumptuous perhaps on my part, that I am something of a Smithers myself, that I ofier this book to the public. These speeches have not had the stamp of approval put upon them by professors of rhetoric, or schools of oratory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches and Addresses Intemperate as such language is, it is but little more so than the abuse to which he was subjected in consequence of his speech on the subject of temperance, a speech which was generally mis understood and generally misquoted. I have, therefore, included several speeches and one letter on this subject, in order that his attitude towards the question of temperance may be clearly under stood. He himself, in a letter to the Times, ex plained both what he had and what he had not said on that occasion, but inasmuch as this explanation seems to me unnecessary when the words them selves are correctly given and given with their context, I have left the speech to speak for itself.
