This book traces the study of American oratory from the ministers of Colonial New England up to the time of Woodrow Wilson. Extensive attention is given to great public debates such as those between Webster and Hayne and Lincoln and Douglas. The public speaking of religious figures, lawyers, and social reformers, as well as statesmen, is discussed.
