Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches and Addresses, on the Threshold of Eighty Mr. President and Gentlemen: It is very interesting that the twentieth successive dinner which you have given me on my birthday should coincide with this club coming of age. Twenty-one years of club life to those who have been members from the beginning is always full of charm. The club is the nearest association to the family possible without domestic ties. A man who has a sympathetic disposition and loves to mingle with his fellowmen upon a basis more intimate than is afforded in business will have among the living, and, in memory, those who have passed away, an invaluable asset of choicest friendships. In no place as in the club does human nature reveal itself at its best and at its worst. Members become natural with each other and their selfishness or their good fellowship increases with the years. I recall those who were present at that first birthday celebration, and each one of them since has had distinctive features. It has differed from all other affairs of the kind because of its publicity and its freedom of discussion. The influence of words uttered here or revelations made here have at times reached far beyond the limits of this city.

Sim ple interest for that time on one-third of a thousand dollars, amounted to two hundred dollars more, making the loss four hun dred dollars. Simple interest upon this sum, for thirty years, exceeds seven hundred dollars, which, added to the four hundred, makes the loss which the holder of paper to the amount of one thousand dollars has suffered, by the mode and time of payment adopted by the Government, to exceed eleven hundred dollars so that the sum which we withheld, out of that which we had solemnly promised in writing, with Simple interest only, is now more than the original amount of the debt.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses and Speeches: On Various Occasions Some circumstances, connected with the progress and close of my late Congressional career, have induced me to comply, not altogether unwillingly, with the suggestion of friends, - that whatever I have said on public questions, should be placed within the convenient reach and reference of such as may care to know any thing about my course. I have ventured to think, too, that this volume would not be entirely unacceptable to the people of Massachusetts, and particularly to the people of Boston, to whom I enjoyed, and in whose service most of these Addresses and Speeches were made. They are given here just as they were delivered, and many of them printed, at the time, - with no other change than the correction of a few inaccuracies in matter of form, or, it may be, in matter of fact. They thus contain, - not what I might have said, or might now say, - but what I actually did say, on the subjects to which they relate, during sixteen or seventeen years of public employment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches and Addresses: Political, Literary and Religious Many of my friends have asked me to publish in the more permanent form of a book some of the speeches and addresses that I have had the honour of making before a great variety of audiences during my career. This request I gladly comply with, and I use the first break in a life-long series of pressing business and political engagements to prepare the book for publication. While a man makes many enemies by frankly speaking his mind, as it has been my principle and my habit to do, he makes many friends also; and I certainly have every reason to be thankful both for the number and for the constancy of my friends. Speaking, as I have done, on many subjects, and in support of many causes, I could not hope to carry with me in all things those who agreed with me in many things; but among those whose good opinion I valued, there have been few who were not willing to believe that I was no less candid when I differed from them than when I happened to express opinions that they cherished.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foundations of the Republic: Speeches and Addresses His early profession as a lawyer was abandoned to enter academic life. In this chosen field he attained the highest rank as an educator, and has left his impress upon the in tellectual thought of the country. From the Presidency of Princeton University he was called by his fellow citizens to be the Chief Executive of the State of New Jersey. The duties of this high office he so conducted as to win the confidence of the people of the United States, who twice elected him to the Chief Magistracy of the Republic. As President of the United States he was moved by an earnest desire to promote the best interests of the country as he conceived them. His acts were prompted by high motives and his sincerity of purpose can not be questioned. He led the nation through the terrific struggle Of the world war with a lofty idealism which never failed him. He gave utterance to the aspiration of humanity with an eloquence which held the attention of all the earth and made America a new and enlarged in uence in the destiny of mankind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches and Addresses 1884-1909 Yet although much was then accomplished, all was not done. The imitative colonial propensity of mind still dwells with us. There is still work for the Puritan Spirit which would go its own way and think its own thoughts. It is not altogether our own church, even now in the world of ideas in art, and literature, and among certain elements of our society. Who, for instance, has not heard the profound saying that in this country nature does not lend itself to art Have we not, then, the glories of morning and of evening, the mists of dawn, the radiance of midday, the lightning of the noontide ocean, the infinite beauties of sea and sky, of river and mountain? When nature does not lend itself to art it is because there is no art able to borrow. Let the right men come in the right spirit and they will have no trouble with nature.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses and Speeches on Various Occasions, From 1878 to 1886 Another Serial Number of our Proceedings is on our table this morning. It forms the conclusion of a new volume, which, thanks to the unwearied devotion of our Secretary, will soon be forthcoming. There is nothing more interesting in this number, - nor, indeed, in any Of the Serials or Volumes which have preceded it, I think, than the Extracts from the Journal of Thomas Hutchinson, Governor of Massachusetts, containing the record of his conversation with George III., in July, 1774, im mediately on the arrival of Hutchinson in England, after he was superseded in the Government Of Massachusetts by General Gage. We are indebted for this valuable paper to our Honorary Member, the historian bancroft, from whom it came to Mr. Frothingham; and the paper is verified by the Signature of Edward Everett, under whose direction - while he was our Minister at London - the copy was made by his Secretary Of Legation, Mr. Francis R. Rives, in 1843. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Speeches and Occasional Addresses Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by John A. Dix and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches and Occasional Addresses, Vol. 1 The Territory on the northwest coast of America, west of the Rocky Mountains, known as Oregon, and long in dispute between the United States and Great Britain, was, by a convention between the two countries, concluded on the 20th October, 1818, made free to the vessels, citizens, and subjects of both, for the period of ten years. This agreement was continued in force and indefinitely extended by the convention of 26th August, 1827. In consequence of collisions between the people of the two countries within the disputed Territory, resolutions were introduced into the Senate, in February, 1846, requiring the President to give notice of the abrogation of the last-mentioned convention, in accordance with one of its stipulations. A portion of the senators were in favor of adjusting the controversy by adopting the 49th parallel of latitude as the boundary, leaving to Great Britain the territory north of it; and the others of insisting on the abandonment by Great Britain of the whole country as far north as 54 40', from which line northward the title of Russia had been acknowledged by both the parties to the pending dispute. Mr. Dix, while asserting the title of the United States to the whole Territory derived from the discoveries and occupation of Spain, was nevertheless in favor of the compromise line of 49, which had been offered to Great Britain in pi-previous negotiations. The question was settled by the adoption of that parallel as the boundary line, under a treaty negotiated by Mr. Louis McLane, and ratified by the Senate at the same session in which the debate took place.

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.

Download or read book Addresses Speeches Lectures and Letters Upon Various Subjects Classic Reprint written by Hugh McCulloch and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Addresses, Speeches, Lectures, and Letters Upon Various Subjects The Addresses, Speeches, Lectures, etc., etc., which appear in this volume have been selected from many others, and are intended to be preserved in this form for the use of those who, years hence, may be inter ested in what is substantially a record of my feelings and views upon important subjects in very interesting periods of our national history. The addresses delivered at Fort Wayne, Ind., in 1861 and 1865 can hardly fail, at any time, to be inter esting, as they present the prevailing sentiment of the people of the Northern States at the commencement and the close of the civil war. The letters, which were written in London for the New York T rz'bnne, were copied by a great many newspapers, and very widely circulated and favorably commented upon in all parts of the country. They were written and the Cambridge lectures were delivered when financial and economic questions were engaging public attention - questions that have lost none of their interest - the definite solution of which seems to be far in the future.

Download or read book The Nation and the Empire written by Alfred Milner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nation and the Empire: Being a Collection of Speeches and Addresses Do not let me be thought to suggest that Imperial affairs are necessarily of greater dignity and importance than local affairs, or that a man is better employed in con cerning himself with the former rather than with the latter. The word Imperial has an imposing sound, but not every question properly so described is necessarily Of the first importance. And on the other hand there may be local controversies, in any part of the Empire, which are of supreme moment to the welfare of that part, and even of the whole. I have no idea Of extolling interest in the one, or depreciating interest in the other. The point is, that Imperial and local affairs are different in Character, and that the same men are not generally, or Often, equally well qualified, by inclination and experience, to deal with both. A system, which makes successful activity in the one sphere the only avenue to influence in the other, involves enormous waste.
