Excerpt from Speeches, Lectures, and Letters Twenty-eight years ago, in 1863, Wendell Phillips yielded to the solicitations of his friends, and revised for publication a selection of his Speeches, Lectures, and Letters. The moment was well chosen. On the one hand public interest in the Antislavery question, the constant burden of the orator's utterance, had widened and deepened with the progress of the war, and had reached its height when the Emancipation Proclamation appeared; and on the other hand, the personal popularity of Mr. Phillips was steadily rising throughout the North and the West. Both these changes account in part for the welcome the volume at once received. But its permanent place among the records of American eloquence is due to deeper and intrinsic reasons. The classic is always contemporary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lectures, Verses, Speeches, Reminiscences, &C He said he should like to ask Mr. Challinor to do the public of Leek the favour of collecting together in a volume the Lectures, and he might add the Speeches which he (mr. Challinor) had delivered during a number of years. He, the Chairman felt sure that such Lectures would not only be in them selves interesting, but would also give a fair picture of the mind and thought which had been interesting and suggestive to more than one generation of fellow townsmen. The audience it was reported joined the Chairman in making this request. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Addresses, Speeches, Lectures, and Letters Upon Various Subjects The Addresses, Speeches, Lectures, etc., etc., which appear in this volume have been selected from many others, and are intended to be preserved in this form, for the use of those who, years hence, may be interested in what is substantially a record of my feelings and views upon important subjects in very interesting periods of our national history. The addresses delivered at Fort Wayne, Ind., in 1861 and 1865 can hardly fail, at any time, to be interesting, as the present the prevailing sentiment of the people of the Northern States at the commencement and the close of the civil war. The letters, which were written in London for the New York Tribune, were copied by a great many newspapers, and very widely circulated and favorably commented upon in all parts of the country. They were written and the Cambridge lectures were delivered when financial and economic questions were engaging public attention - questions that have lost none of their interest - the definite solution of which seems to be far in the future. The Currency. Upon the currency question I have spoken at considerable length, because it was, and still is, a question of supreme importance. A sound circulating medium is the life-blood of commercial nations. In speaking of the currency, I could not fail to express my views upon the legal-tender notes.

Excerpt from Shakespeare and Other Lectures Lectures, friends have been asking for Others, which they remembered hearing in their delivery and thus has been prompted the preparation of the present volume. The volume contains lectures and speeches - some delivered in earlier years, some in later, and differing considerably in style and merit; but the greater disparities are more owing to the reporter than the speaker. When a lecture is reported by Miss Beauclerc -as is the case with the one on the Shadow of Death - we have a near approach to fulness and accuracy; but some Of the newspaper reports are mere fragments which have missed what was most characteristic, and are only included because they serve as connecting links. In the preparation of the book I have had, as before, the invaluable help of Miss Beauclerc in collating and transcribing. The volume, we know, will be acceptable to Mr Dawson's old friends; and we trust it will be found bracing and helpful to young people.

Excerpt from Complete Works, Vol. 1: Comprising Sermons, Letters, Lectures, Speeches, Etc Having heard many persons, admirers of the late Archbishop Hughes, express a wish that his public lectures, letters and speeches might be collected and published in book form, the compiler of this volume has, after some deliberation, undertaken the task, which, he trusts, will prove acceptable to the Catholic community in general. The following pages are the first installment, and will be immediately followed by another volume of about the same size, which will complete the work. The biographical sketch merely touches upon the principal events in His Grace's career, but is the most complete one yet published. The speeches of His Grace on the School Question - a question which first brought him prominently before the New York public - will, no doubt, be read with pleasure as well as profit by thousands who have heard of these great efforts of Dr. Hughes, but who have had no chance heretofore of reading them. His speeches before the Board of Aldermen, as well as his great Three Days' Speech in Carroll Hall on this question, will be found in this volume in full. Other important documents are also given entire. The concluding volume will also contain important writings of Archbishop Hughes, which should be read by every Catholic in the land.
