Excerpt from Chautauqua Instructor of Elocution and Dramatic Art: Containing the Best Readings and Recitations for All Occasions From the Most Celebrated Authors, Including Grave and Pathetic, Moral and Didactic, Dramatic, Descriptive, Religious and Humorous SelectionsOrators and effective public speakers must always exist in the growing power of any government, and when a nation is without one or more great patriotic and unselfish orators it is in imminent danger. Greece was safe and invincible as long as Demosthenes thundered against Philip but when he was taken away, and the mantle of his oratory descended not upon another, then the Macedonian came and the glory of ancient Athens departed. When the silvery tongue of Cicero was silenced in Rome, and no one arose to take his place, the decline of that great empire was marked and rapid until the vandals of the north made it their prey.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
