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 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.

Excerpt from The Influence of Literature: An Oration I have mentioned only a few authors, the consequences of whose works are plainly visible; yet how many nu known and lost productions have aided the advancement of mankind I How many volumes have been composed, of which nothing remains except some homely maxim, daily repeated by men who never suspect its origin? May not the proverbs uttered so glibly by laughing child hood and thoughtful age, now serving as a warning to the young, and now, as a consolation to the old, he the remnant of a forgotten civilization? Or the literary fragments of some splendid genius that lived, andthought, and suflered, long, long ago, when the world was new, and when the faculties had walked so recently in the train of God, that having caught the brightness of his presence, they still retained its rays?
