Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The Columbian Orator, an instruction book on public speaking and a
collection of political dialogues, essays, and speeches, was first
published in 1797. It was used as a textbook in many classrooms in
the United States and became the influence for abolitionist
Frederick Douglass. Its popularity continued into the 20th century
for its demonstration of the power of speech and its importance to
the human rights movement. CALEB BINGHAM (1757-1817) was a textbook
author, publisher, and bookseller in Boston, Massachusetts. Born in
Salisbury, Connecticut, he was educated and taught at Dartmouth
College. His most famous works were on public speaking, including
the well-known The Columbian Orator. Other textbooks Bingham wrote
on grammar and speech include The American Preceptor and The Young
Lady's Accidence.
