Speeches And Essays Upon Political Subjects From 1860 To 1869 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Essays and Speeches on Various Subjects Stresemann's lifework, as illustrated by his Speeches and writings, is of so comprehensive a character that any attempt to present it as a whole would far exceed the limits imposed upon the editor. A considerable number of economic essays, some of which were of fundamental importance and betokened great originality of thought, have had to be entirely disregarded. Only a selection of his speeches and writings of a political nature could be included, and they in their turn had to be severely revised with a view to the omission of redundancies and of such passages as dealt with political 'questions of an ephemeral nature or related to internal politics, if the ample material available was to be kept within reasonable dimensions. No notice has been taken of interruptions in this edition beyond what was essential to the comprehension of the speeches and of the atmosphere in which they were delivered. The speeches and essays follow one another, generally speaking, in chronological order, save in a few instances where the continuity of the subject treated compelled a departure h'om this principle. The biographical introduction has been inserted with the object of enabling my readers to appreciate more fully the policy and personality of Stresemann.
