Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Golden Age of American Oratory The description of Henry Clay and of Rufus Choate in this volume appeared originally in "Putnam´s Magazine." The favorable opinion then expressed of them by persons of knowledge and judgment encouraged the author to attempt the description of a circle of their contemporary orators. The view of Fisher Ames here given was originally presented in the form of a Lecture before the "Mercantile Library Association" of Boston; and a portion of the description of Edward Everett´s oratory was pronounced as an Oration on the Fourth of July, before the City Authorities of Boston. With these exceptions, the matter of the book is now first published. In illustrating the great age of American Eloquence, the author has relied almost exclusively upon the examples of orators to whom he had himself frequently listened. To this plan, Ames and Pinkney are the only exceptions. Pinkney is treated of, because he divides with Rufus Choate the oratorio leadership of the American bar.
