Excerpt from Talks and Lectures It is the Object Of this reading course to outline a systematic course Of reading in these New England classics beginning with those concerning whose preeminence there can be no question and suggesting lines of work from these as a starting point which shall cover the entire field Of classic New England literature. Since we are not yet far enough removed in time from these master pieces to determine with accuracy which are supreme classics and which are not, we have been compelled to base our selection upon the judg ment of the best contemporary authority Obtain able. It should be constantly in the mind Of the reader that these six classics, with the suggestions and helps for studying them, form only the starting point for a course of reading in the American masterpieces. He who has completed only the six has but entered the portal of the subject. It is an inspiring and helpful thought that with every true classic completed with diligence and thought fulness one has added to his love of the beautiful.

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 Lecture-Room Talks: A Series of Familiar Discourses on Themes of General Christian Experience I have left both the selection and the revision of the matter of this book wholly to the judgment of others. As the separate topics are short, the applications very direct, and the illustrations drawn from familiar scenes, it is hoped that they may be acceptable, in many instances, when a sermon would prove too long and elaborate.

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 Plain Talks: On Familiar Subjects Very accepted speaker before the lecture associations of the country hears the fre quent expression of a wish, on the part of his audiences, to secure in type the utterances of his tongue. My own experience in this respect has not been exceptional; and, in publishing this volume of lectures, I fulfil a promise repeatedly made to those who have heard them from the platform. It seems legitimate to conclude that that is not valueless on the printed page which has been received with favor by many audiences, in nearly every Northern State of the Union. I am sure it will revive some pleasant memories; and I hope it may renew some useful impres sions. These lectures have been written at different periods during the last six or seven years. These.

Excerpt from Lectures and Miscellanies The following Lectures were delivered in this city in the winter of 1850 - 51. They have been so considerably amplified in passing through the press. As scarcely to fall any longer within the cus tomary lecture-limits. And yet it is easy to see that the subject of each Lecture is of so rich and various an interest, as to have been very inadequately treated after all.

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.
