Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British and American Eloquence This volume is the outgrowth of a clearly defined classroom demand for a critical study of the message and methods of the great English and American orators whose utterances have molded public opinion and guided the destinies of the two great Anglo-Saxon nations. Its object is to conserve the students time by providing, in one book, that which he has heretofore secured by a somewhat erratic study of many volumes. Our method is that of "precept and example," giving those salient points in the lives and experiences of the orators treated that may serve as a guide to the student of oratory, and furnishing as much of their selected speeches as may be profitably studied and assimilated within the time assigned to this subject in the curriculum. Our plan is to stimulate a study of the sources of oratorical power growing out of the personality, motives, and methods of the orators considered; to set forth the occasion, the circumstances, and the object of some of their most effective speeches; and to reprint such inspiring examples of eloquence as may enrich the mind of the student and strengthen his ideals of public speaking. Our selection includes twenty-two of the most noted English-speaking orators of the past one hundred and fifty years. We have not undertaken a review of the oratory of a more remote past or a study of the many excellent present-day speakers whose careers have not yet closed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eloquence of the Colonial and Revolutionary Times: With Sketches of Early American Statesmen and Patriots, Delivered Before the New England Society of Cincinnati My dear Sir - By a resolution of the New England Society, of last evening, I am instructed in the name of the Board of Directors, and the Members, very cordially to thank you for your two brilliant and eloquent Orations, delivered on Monday and Thursday evenings of this week; and to request a copy for the press. If you accede to this request, the Orations will be brought out immediately in a permanent book form, and in a neat and attractive way, by one of our enterprising houses here, Derby, Bradley & Co. The New England Society of this city requested the writer to deliver two orations on "The Popular Eloquence of the Colonial and Revolutionary Period of our History," and they were delivered. They now wish to print what they had the kindness to listen to with marked attention, and the manuscript is going to the press. Why not? May not the humblest devotee, however insignificant, be admitted to the temple, provided he loves truly, and brings the best offering in his power to the shrine? What is herewith presented is brief, certainly, for such a theme; but it has cost more to make it thus than it would to have increased its bulk. The subject is a glorious one, and has been under consideration for ten years or more. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Crowned Masterpieces of Eloquence Representing the Advance of Civilization as Collected in the World s Best Orations From the Earliest Period to the Present Time Classic Reprint written by David J. Brewer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crowned Masterpieces of Eloquence, Representing the Advance of Civilization, as Collected in the World's Best Orations, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time When Erskine appeared in his first case (that of King versus Baillie), he himself was probably the only man in England who thought his talents as a lawyer worth considering. When he left the court room, however, where he had spoken as the junior of five counsel, he was already near the head of the English bar, and it is said he received thirty retainers before he was out of the building. Compared to his more mature efforts, this speech would hardly be worth notice, did it not illustrate both the spirit and the method which made him the greatest forensic orator of his day. At a time when it was a highly dangerous offense to "scandalize the great," it was the rule to find humble scapegoats to bear the odium of the sins of power. Neither the King nor his ministers were to be mentioned except with the usual "Far be it from me" - But Erskine, reviewing the question presented by the pamphlet in which Captain Baillie had charged Lord Sandwich, first lord of the admiralty, with responsibility for abuses at Greenwich hospital, made an attack on Sandwich so bold that he at once compelled attention to himself as the central figure of the trial. From this beginning, Erskine was concerned in one after another of those great causes, through which the right of the people to sit in judgment on the acts of all who exercise their delegated power was asserted and at last vindicated. Under the Georges, prosecution for "seditious libel" took the place of what might have been arrests for treason under the Stuarts. In such cases as in that of Hardy and others for treason itself, Erskine was moved by the liberrima indignatio of the man who feels as his own every wrong with which power threatens weakness. This intensity gave him his power and his celebrity. In such cases as that of Lord George Gordon, where he is forcible to the last degree, he does not compel any other interest than that which attaches to the subject itself. This is true of some others of his orations in what were great political trials, but his peroration in the case of Stockdale is made sublime by the strength of his protest against the injustice of holding Warren Hastings as worse than the policy he was sent to India to enforce.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crowned Masterpieces of Eloquence, Vol. 4: Representing the Advance of Civilization, as Collected in the World's Best Orations, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time The issue between two theories so antagonistic is not likely soon to be decided, but it must be understood before Clay's place in Amer ican history can be determined. From the time of the first Missouri Compromise, of which he has been called the chief designer, to the compromise tariff of 1833, and again up to the Compromise of 1850 and his death, Clay strove always to impress on the country his own governing idea that Americans of all sections were bound to tolerate each other in their mutual sins of ignorance, of lack of development, and of slowness to improve. Webster held with him, but in New England Webster was finally denounced as a renegade, and only a short time before the death of Clay, Mr. Jefferson Davis, listening to his pleas 'for the postponement of'the crisis, concluded that it was cowardly for one generation to unload its responsibilities on the next, instead of meeting them at once.
