Excerpt from Political Oratory of Emery A. Storrs: From Lincoln to GarfieldWith no pedestal of high office, with no monument of some permanent creation in literature, Mr. Storrs may be ephemeral in American fame. The hand Of forgetting Fate may relentlessly thrust him altogether from even the vestibule of that temple within which stand eternally the Lincoln and the Grant of the great rebellion. If Choate and Sumner are surely sinking into oblivion, little more can be hoped for one who, it has been said, possessed the endowments of both - the tirelessness in preparation, the nervous, magnetic energy in execution, and the fidelity in trying emergencies of the one, and the convincing logic, the impressiveness of style, and the persuasive richness of the other. But, he was an ornament to his day and generation. The pub lic speaker can well afford to study Emery A. Storrs' orations as models in oratory.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
