Excerpt from Speeches of Benjamin Harrison, Twenty-Third President of the United States: A Complete Collection of His Public Addresses From February, 1888, to February, 1892 In order to the best understanding and appreciation of an address, it is often necessary to know the circumstances in which it was delivered. Especially is this true when the address was made, as many of these were, to some particular organization or class of citizens or at the cele bration of some important event. For this reason, as well as for their important historical value, an account is given of the occasion of each speech, including, as far as they could be learned, the names of the more distinguished per sons who were present and took part in the exercises.
