1899. Edward A. Allen and William Schuyler, Associate Editors. From
the Preface: The purpose is to present the best efforts of the
world's greatest orators in all ages; and with this purpose kept in
view as the matter of primary importance, to supplement the great
orations with others that are representative and historically
important-especially with those having a fundamental connection
with the most important events in the development of Anglo-Saxon
civilization. The greatest attention has been given to the
representative orators of England and America, so that the work
includes all that is most famous or most necessary to be known in
the oratory of the Anglo-Saxon race...We have not confined
ourselves to any one profession or 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? 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. Some of the orators
included in this volume are: Ethan Allen, Thomas Arnold, Francis
Bacon, Richard Baxter, Lord Belhaven, Henry Ward Beecher, and Judah
P. Benjamin.
