Field of eloquence. The pulpit, the bar, the halls of legislation, and the popular assembly have each and all been called upon for their best contributions. The single test has been: Is it oratory? The single question Is there eloquence P The reader and student of every class will therefore find within these pages that which will satisfy his particular taste and desire in the matter of oratory.AS this work is designed especially for English-speaking countries, we have deemed it proper to give prominence to anglo-saxon orators, and yet this prominence has not been carried SO far as to make the work a one-sided collection. It is not a mere presentation of English Speaking orators. We submit the work to the public in the belief that all will find pleasure, interest, and instruction in its pages, and in the hope that it will prove an inspiration to the growing generation to see to it that oratory be not classed among the lost arts, but that it Shall remain ever-present and increasing power and blessing to the world.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
