“Regarded merely as studies in language, these orations contain
some of the most eloquent and persuasive speeches in the English
tongue. But more than this, the present collection has a permanent
historical value which can hardly be overestimated. The very spirit
of the times is preserved in these utterances; and, presented in
this cogent form, history in a peculiar sense repeats itself to the
reader, who feels the impulse of past events and the vitality of
great principles behind them.”--_School Journal._
