Excerpt from Webster's First Bunker-Hill Oration It is interesting and profitable to compare the poetry of oratory with the oratory of poetry. Such a study reveals the kinship of poet and orator, that in the infancy of literary art the two are one in virtue of the shaping and transforming power of imagination, the vision and the faculty divine which protests against the unreality of a life in which the senses are supreme.

Excerpt from The Making of an Orator: With Examples From Great Masterpieces, of Ancient and Modern Eloquence Some voices, it is true, are of more limited compass than others; but most are full, reso nant, and melodious, of great range and flex ibility - capable of venting, at one moment, a tempest of passion, and of issuing, at another, in soft, low, murmuring accents that linger pleasantly in the ear. In both cases reading aloud is advantageous - to correct the defects of the one, to improve and strengthen the other. If, said the great critic, Ruskin, I could have a son or a daughter possessed of but one accomplishment in life, it should be that of good reading. When elocution is made a part of education, but not before, this accomplishment, so useful in itself and so val nable in the elementary training of an orator, will be within reach of every student.

Excerpt from Select Orations Illustrating American Political History Nevertheless, considerations of oratorical excellence were by no means disregarded, and it is believed that examples of the best public speaking of every epoch of our history will here be found, and in sufficient variety.

Excerpt from The Harveian Oration: 1873 To the Linacre Professorship, the Linacre Professor might seem scarcely justified in declining an invitation to appear before the learned body to which in part he owed his position; and, though I mention it last, I felt first of all that a wish expressed to me, not SO much by the official whom I am now addressing, as by the individual who now more than twenty years ago introduced me to Harvey's hospital, and has persist ently befriended me ever since, was a wish which I ought not lightly to disregard. If now, Sir, I follow an example which you have often set me, and, without needless preface or further personal allusions, address myself at once to the business before me, I shall there by pay you the best of all compliments, by showing you that your teaching has not been wholly thrown away upon your former pupil.
