Book excerpt: Excerpt from Additional Speeches, Vol. 1 of 2: Addresses, and Occasional Sermons Several years ago I began to write a large work on the "Historical Development of Religion in the various Races of Mankind," hoping to publish the first volume long before this time. But during the last five years, my attention has been mainly directed to quite different pursuits, less genial to my nature and more foreign to my culture: events of the saddest character and most dangerous tendency have forced other and indispensable duties upon me. For the assaults on the natural Rights of man have been so continuous, made with such vigor, and so often successful, and the consequent demand of resistance thereto, on the part of all friends of Humanity so urgent, that I have been forced to defer the welcome toil of converting the Facts of past History into Ideas of present Consciousness, and therewith helping to build up nobler Institutions for the future.

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 Speeches, Vol. 2: 1891-1894 Another favourite thesis upon these occasions is that the affairs of the world would have come to a stop long ago but for the part taken in their management by your fellow countrymen. (cheers and laughter.) That doctrine is one to which, within reasonable limits, I am perfectly ready to subscribe, and, if it holds good anywhere, it cer tainly hos good in India. It would be an interesting task to consider the sheet upon the history of India which might have been produced if the Scotch ingredient had been withdrawn from amongst those who had the making of the land we live in. To pursue such an inquiry into the regions of history would carry me altogether beyond the limits Of an after-dinner speech. Moreover, it would probably be difficult to make researches in this direction, even if they were limited to the present day, 'without giving Offence to the susceptibilities of those who have had the misfortune to be born in less favoured parts of the British Islands (cheers and laughter.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches, Vol. 2 Gentleman in this House be convinced that the test proposed by my noble Friend be the best test - then, although he might be disposed to think that the sum of 5l. was too low - then, although he might be disposed to fix it at 6l., 7l., 8l., or 10l., I should say he would still be acting in a reasonable and Parliamentary manner if he voted for the second reading. For my own part, I believe, for I had not then the honour of a seat in this House, that this was the case in discussing another bill of great importance, the Irish Municipal Bill - the general principle of the bill having been approved of, it was read a second time with the support of many hon. Members, although several divisions were subsequently taken by them upon its details. Sir, I have no hesitation in stating, that I do believe that the evils which are to be apprehended from the restriction of the franchise in Ireland are greater than those which are to be dreaded from its extension. Sir, whether the test of my noble Friend should be adopted or not, I should see with satisfaction that a greater proportion of votes should be given to the large counties of Cork and Down. I think it better that they should have 8,000 rather than 2,000 voters, but whether they are to have 8,000 or 2,000, still I prefer the test of my noble Friend near me to the undefined franchise in the bill of the noble Lord. Sir, I shall at present not touch upon the question of the amount of the franchise - I shall confine myself to the principle of the bill, and it will be necessary for me to follow the example of the noble Lord, and look, not at my noble Friend's bill alone, but also at the other bill that accompanies it on the table of the House. The case is certainly a grave and important one, for it involves a right which is the foundation of all other rights. Serious evils are admitted to exist with regard to that precious and important right; both parties in the State admit the existence of these evils, and both have come forward with remedies which are now lying on your table, and it is for the House to decide between them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mr. Chamberlain's Speeches, Vol. 1 Early this year the publishers of these volumes inquired Whether my father would be willing that they should re produce a selection from his speeches. The idea pleased him, and he was gratified by Mr. Boyd's ready consent to undertake the task of selection and presentation. He accordingly placed at Mr. Boyd's disposal the scrap books in which had been collected the newspaper reports Of his speeches from the beginning to the end of his long public life. The choice made from this vast mass of material is Mr. Boyd's. NO restrictions or conditions of any kind have been imposed upon him. The principle which has guided his selection is explained in his prefatory note. It was to make the collection representative of the full sweep of a long and famous career.' It Will, I think, be found that he has admirably fulfilled this promise. It was my father's Wish that I should prefix a few words of introduction to the collection. The time has not yet come, nor in any case am I the proper person, to measure exactly all he did and all he was, but these speeches will show something of the man, of his character, and Of his achieve ments. He cared little about charges of inconsistency, and no attempt is made here to gloss over any change of thought or method. But I believe with him that through all his years of unceasing growth and widening outlook on men and things there was an underlying consistency Of Spirit and of purpose which gives unity to the whole.

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 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches and Occasional Addresses, Vol. 2 By this act, it will be perceived that the laws of the States in relation to pilotage were recognized by Congress at its first session after the Constitution was adopted, and that, by refer ring to the future as well as the existing legislation of the States, it designed to place the whole subject prospectively under State regulation. Congress undoubtedly saw that this was one of those cases in which each State would be best capable of judging for itself what regulations the subject would require within its own limits, and that in providing for its own interest, that of the public would be most likely to be secured. From 1789 to 1837 this was the established sys tem in respect to the regulation of all that relates to pilotage. Though the section I have read contemplated the possibility of future legislation by Congress, no further act was passed during a period of forty-eight years. I have not been able to find any other act referring to pilots in any manner, except the act of 1792, establishing a uniform militia, by which they were exempted from militia duty.

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.

Elkon Basilike. "We daily make great improvements in natural - there is one I wish to see in moral - philosophy; the discovery of a plan that would induce and oblige nations to settle their disputes without first cutting one another's throats. When will human reason be sufficiently improved to see the advantage of this?" - Franklin.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches, Addresses, and Occasional Sermons, Vol. 1 of 3 I have collected in these volumes several Speeches, Addresses and occasional Sermons, which I have delivered at various times during the last seven years. Most of them were prepared for some special emergency: only two papers, that on "The Relation of Jesus to his Age and the Ages," and that on "Immortal Life," were written without reference to some such emergency. All of them have been printed before, excepting the sermon "Of General Taylor," and the address on "The American Scholar;" some have been several times reprinted. I do not know that they are worthy of republication in this permanent form, but the leading ideas of these volumes are very dear to me, and are sure to live as long as the human race shall continue. So I have published a small edition, hoping that the truths which I know are contained in these pages will do a service long after the writer, and the-occasion of their utterance, have passed off and been forgot.
