Book Description
Excerpt from Selected English Speeches From Burke to Gladstone This selection is confined to outstanding examples of English speeches which illustrate the highest attainment in oral expression. Written deliverances such as those of great judges in court have been excluded. Two other classes of speeches have also been excluded: (1) Speeches which, though famous in history, and often quoted, are on examination found in themselves to lack distinction, their fame being due to exceptional occasions or circumstances.(2) Speeches like those attributed to Chatham, which we know were written by persons who did not hear them delivered but derived their reports from rough notes or scanty material supplied by gossip. Such reports cannot represent the oral style that worked so powerfully upon those who heard. There was no reliable reporting of the speeches of earlier orators.
