Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Rebellion: Report of the Speeches of the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Delivered at Public Meetings in Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Liverpool, and London; And at the Farewell Breakfasts in London, Manchester, and Liverpool The object of this publication is to meet the definite demand for it which found expression in many ways during Mr. Beecher´s life, but since his death has become well nigh universal. Mr. Beecher´s speeches in Great Britain on the American Rebellion were published originally in book form by an Emancipation Society in Manchester in 1864. Its circulation was limited and the volume has been long out of print. Though widely known as to their delivery and results, they have been to this time, in literary form, comparatively unknown to American readers. These speeches are justly deemed the most permanent in historic interest of any in Mr. Beecher´s life. No resume of the momentous events of his wonderful career will be given that will fail to give prominence to this, his greatest oratorical effort. It has been said by many, and doubtless with truth, that by these addresses Mr. Beecher saved this country from the forcible interference of England in behalf of the South and against the North. His display of courage in facing the hostile mobs of Liverpool and Manchester was of as grand a type as that of any warrior on the field of battle.
