Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Speech for Special Occasions It has seemed well, therefore, to select for this volume specimens Of effective speech on such occa sions as constantly recur, - ou ordinary rather than extraordinary occasions, - and to furnish the student with examples of what he is called upon to say under similar circumstances. The selections lend them selves to classroom discussion because they parallel the student's own experience and Observation. They are models because, in the increasing complexity of college life, a student finds frequent opportunity for just such speechmaking. The collection, it is hoped, will be helpful also to the general reader, who in an exigency that demands a speech would turn gladly to specimens of speeches adapted to a similar occasion. In order to widen the usefulness of the book in this way, references to col lections of speeches, accessible in most libraries, have been included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Speech for Special Occasions This volume has been prepared primarily because the editors have felt in their own teaching the need of a convenient collection of such speeches are here presented. Models of formal oratory and debate are abundant; but these are not enough. The old-fashioned college oration, the glory of contests and commencements, has survived a change of taste, and is becoming less useful as a college exercise. Debating, though valuable as discipline and attractive on account of its frank and direct competition, appeals after all to a limited number of students. Moreover, the masterpieces of eloquence to which the student is commonly directed for reading and study sprang from occasions which have no parallels in his experience. He may come to the end of his days without knowing in the smallest measure the feeling that inspired the memorable passages in Demosthenes, Cicero, Stafford, Chatham, Fox, Grattan, Patrick Henry, or Webster. But the birthday of an esteemed person, the centenary anniversary of the renowned dead, the departure or arrival of a friend, or hunger to meet one's fellows in the bonds of equality and friendship - these are the occasions that have called forth the greater part of public speech from Homer's day to ours.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel and the Age: Sermons on Special Occasions The sermons contained in this volume were preached, as their title states, on special occasions. They were selected for publication not as possessing, for that reason, any special merit, but because they were the only ones the publication of which was possible for their author. The preacher of what are called extempore sermons - that is to say, sermons not read from manuscript, but delivered from brief notes - cannot reproduce them in print unless they happen to have been taken down at the time by a reporter. Such reports can hardly ever be verbatim, and are for the most part more or less imperfect and inaccurate.

This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses on Special Occasions, Vol. 1 In the first place, I believe him to have been in uenced by a sentiment of deeply humble self-annihilation in the pre sence of God - Fully aware of the estimation in which he was held, - of the affectionate and admiring partiality of his intimate friends, he could not but anticipate, in such a life, no little amount of personal eulogy. But whatever might be his estimate of himself in comparison with fellow-men, When he viewed himself in God's sight, so overwhelming at all times was his feeling of conscious unworthiness, - of his infinite distance, his universal failure, his utter nothingness, - that he shrunk from the idea of having either his personal or his official excellencies blazoned. All who ever witnessed the spirit of deep and prostrate reverence, of self-annihilating lowliness and contrition, with which he contemplated and approached the divine Being, will at once be sensible, that, with the thought in his mind of the eye of that Being resting upon him, and searching, with holy omniscience, his heart and his reins, he would have shrunk, with inexpressible sensi tiveness, from any thing in himself being so much as named under the designation of good. 0 could he but find accept ance, unworthy as he was, with his blessed Master! To be held up to the admiration of men, while in his whole soul he was shrinking from the eye of the majesty and the purity of the High and Holy One, was a thought which he could not for an instant have borne.

Download or read book Speeches and Addresses written by Henry Winter Davis and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches and Addresses: Delivered in the Congress of the United States, and on Several Public Occasions The friends of the late Henry Winter Davis have though it due to his memory, and to the remembrance of the public service which he fulfilled both in the congress of the United States and before the people of Maryland, especially in behalf of emancipation, that all such adequate and proper account of it as could be had should be put into some convenient shape, and published, as a contribution to the history of the times, as well as constituting a suitable record of that service. To this end they have collected all the reports and accounts of the speeches and addresses delivered by him, and, upon examination of them, it was resolved to publish all such as were regularly and correctly reported, and which he had gathered or retained precisely as they were printed and as he left them, without correction and without omission, expect in two instances alone, where direct allusion by name was made to persons, which allusions they believe Mr. Davis would have omitted if he had lived to correct these speeches for the press. In these collection have also been included such documents and reports as were wholly written by him, although the course recommended in such papers was not adopted, or the measures or men condemned thereby were approved, by the party he supported or by the people to whom he appealed. For it has not been thought admissible to correct any part of the account, nor to withhold any part of it, unless by reason of an insufficient and inadequate report it was plainly no true record of what was said.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speeches and Toasts: How to Make and Propose Them, a Handbook of Social Speech-Making for Every Occasion Silence may be "golden," as the proverb has it, on certain occasions when by speaking strife may be protracted; but there are times and seasons when speaking is not only admissible but necessary. The power of a speech, the influence for good (as well as for evil) that a powerful speaker can exercise over his hearers, is a possession greatly to be desired. But not every speaker can enchain his audience. Still it cannot be denied that a man who can speak well upon any subject will have a following; and it is a fact that nearly all, if not all great movements, have been set going by the power if speech. "Deeds, not words," is a good motto; but deeds are done and over. Words excite or calm; grow and bear fruit. Deeds may create or destroy; oratory builds up and incites to deeds. Speech, then, is the mainspring of action, the advocate of peace. "Eloquence is the queen of the world," and by oratory comes fame and power. The power to turn men's minds and influence their actions by persuasive eloquence is a grand possession; to carry away an audience in parliament, in court, in pulpit, or theatre is a sign of power of brain, the result of study and application. Now how must this power be attained? How can we inscribe our names upon the roll of fame and have it handed down to posterity? Let us see! There are certain essential qualifications for the speaker which will be immediately recognized - clearness of utterance, deliberation of manner and repose of mien. The hurried man will stammer, the nervous man will flounder in his talk. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Orations and Speeches on Various Occasions, Vol. 2 The short speeches made in England were nearly all in reply to toasts, in which complimentary reference was had to the diplomatic body generally, or to the American min ister, when he alone happened to be present. The usages Of society (the same in this respect on both sides Of the water) impose a certain character upon speeches made under such circumstances. A few Obvious topics Of remark are almost of necessity apt to be repeated. TO attempt to avoid such repetition would be an unprofitable, probably an unavailing, exercise of ingenuity; but I hope it will be thought that -i have not, in the speeches now alluded to, dwelt entirely in the commonplaces Of such occasions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Orations and Speeches on Various Occasions, Vol. 4 The orations and speeches contained in the present volume were all delivered subsequent to July, 1858, with the exception of that on the Character of Washington, originally spoken on the 22d February, 1856, and repeated at intervals till the spring of 1861. It has never before been printed. The address entitled "Franklin the Boston Boy," and "The Causes and Conduct of the War," have also never appeared in type; that at the dinner to Prince Napoleon has been privately printed only; the remaining speeches are all republications, in some cases from newspaper reports, which never received the author's correction, and in which, therefore, some errors may be detected. The first three volumes contained no addresses of a political character. In accordance with what appears to have been the author's intention, the present volume comprehends two speeches partaking of that nature, - the fifteenth and fifty-fourth, on pages 235 and 698. They were both spoken long after the close of the author's official life, and are neither of them a contribution to partisan literature. The republication of other writings of Mr. Everett's, and a memoir of his life, are in contemplation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discourses on Special Occasions, Vol. 2 For from the suggestions of an individual discourse. The method I have deemed it better to adopt, there fore, is, rather to aim at concentrating your atten tion upon some single topic from which the transition may be easy and natural to all that belongs to those engagements on which you are called to enter. And how could this be more effectually aecom plished, than by inviting you to reflect on the neces sity of such concentration and singleness of thought, not in the present service only, but in the whole fulfilment of your ministry? In the declaration be fore us, this sentiment, though simply, is yet most energetically embodied; - and I commend it to your notice, as worthy to excite, and certain to repay it. I select this single fragment, detaching it from its connection with a very important and striking p sage, not so much for any special adaptation to convey, of itself, a just conception respecting the nature or ends of your employment; as because it may, when thus detached, through its brevity and pointedness of expression, secure, perhaps, a more permanent remembrance, and serve to recall more vividly the solemnities and obligations of this day. It may be remembered, when all besides is forgot ten; and, though every observation now Offered, and every momentary feeling now awakened, should pass into oblivion, I trust these few emphatic words may be frequently renewed in their impression, amidst the occupations that await you as a Christian pastor. Often will they bring back to you the good confession you have publicly witnessed, the vows you have solemnly recorded, and the prayers and.

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.
