Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from His Last Battle, and One of His Greatest Victories: Being the Speech of Wendell Phillips, in Faneuil Hall, on the Louisiana Difficulties, January 15, 1875; Compiled From Various Reports, With a Historical Introduction and Notes, a Discussion of the Questions Involved, and a Critical Estimate of the Speech To this end I determined to collate all the principal records I could find, glean every several item of the events, and, so far as I could discern, arrange them all together as they occurred, so that all that Mr. Phillips said, just as he said it, and all the demonstrations of the crowd, - everything which the reports of the Boston press furnished, should be gathered into one record that would be practically complete. This I have done, and now present the result. The first comparison showed that Mr. Phillips had taken the "Journal" report, with slight variations, and made some additions more fully expressing his thought than he had been able to do under the harrying of the treatment he received at the time, and in one instance had added much new matter. All the additions remain, and are designated by being enclosed in brackets with a star. The next comparison showed that the "Post" had endeavored to give a complete verbatim report of almost the whole proceedings; and that in its account of what Mr. Phillips said, there was important matter which did not appear in the tract. On further comparison, the "Advertiser" also was found to furnish valuable material. By the careful collation of these three reports with the edited copy, and the piecing in of all the various fragments, it was possible to make a comparatively complete and correct account of the whole event so far as Mr. Phillips was concerned. Afterwards I came upon the verbatim report in the "Transcript," printed under circumstances which prove the great interest his utterance had awakened; and what I had in hand was carefully collated with that.
