Oratory Of The South From The PDF Download

Excerpt from Oratory of the South: From the Civil War to the Present Time In most instances the selections are short enough for use as declamations in the schools and colleges; and in those cases where they are too long for such use, the teacher or student, by omitting one or more paragraphs, and supplying, it may be, a connecting sentence or two, may readily reduce any selection to the desired length. The thanks of the editor are due to many teachers and public men in the South for helpful suggestions, and especially to the hundreds of public speakers who so kindly responded to requests for copies of their speeches. In most cases, indeed, the material for the selections in this work was furnished by the speakers themselves.
