Book Description
Excerpt from The Best American Orations of Today The speeches of Webster, Clay, Pitt, Patrick Henry, Calhoun, Lincoln, Beecher, and many others, are to be found in almost every Speaker and Reader now published. They have been de claimed for years from every school platform in the country, and with most inspiring in uence. Andrew Draper says: The old-time school declamation on recurring red-letter days in the regular 'routine of the early schools was a great stimulant to boys and girls. It was not more in the words that were heard than in the fact that the boys themselves gave expression to them. It is the doing of things which stirs ambition and creates power, even the doing of things which some one else has done. There are plenty of men prominent in affairs who would gladly testify to the uplifting in uences of the master pieces of oratory and literature on their own lives by means of the school declamation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Best American Orations There were giants in the earth in those days. What days? Whenever giants were needed. In the time of personal physical force, as in the ancient Hebrew tradition quoted, the mighty men of old were heroes of battle. In succeeding ages, every great national crisis seems to have developed the strong men for its needs. So has it been in Amer ica. The Colonial, Revolutionary, and Constructive periods had their giants; the day of expanding terri tory, commerce, and manufactures, with conflicting sectional interests and discussion of the mutual relations of the States and the Union, had its cham pions; and the culminating struggle over Slavery, involving the very existence of the Union and the Constitution, bred its men of might, both civil and military, on both sides of the vast conflict.
