Excerpt from Judah P. Benjamin: Statesman and JuristLogic exposing sophistry, in precise and guarded language charging misrepresentation, evasion and perversion, every sentence a rapier thrust bringing blood, holding auditors, friend and foe, in breathless attention, he added a new lustre to the great council chamber, which for fifty years has been the theatre of oratory and statesmanship. Henry L. Dawes has well classed him with Sumner and Beecher, Wendell Phillips, Yancey and Breckinridge, as having stirred multi tudes, aroused passions and fired the public heart in terms not less eloquent than the loftiest productions of Fox or Pitt, of Patrick Henry or John Adams. Dr. Lee adds concerning him: A master of easy, ¿uent English, he was at his best when in philosophical discourse, his rounded periods and sequent thought eminently fitting him for this department of oratory. Prominent as he was as a lawyer, as an occasional orator he was yet more celebrated, and it is in this manner that he is best remembered in his native State.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
