Synopsis
Excerpt from Additional Speeches<br/><br/>These two volumes contain some of the published results of those labors of the last few years. Some of the speeches were purely extemporaneous; for some others I had but the briefest time for composition. All but the opening article of each volume are reprinted from phonographic reports taken by my friends, Â whose kindness moves them thus to da guerreotype all my Sunday sermons. The brief speech before the Ministerial Conference I wrote down a few days after its delivery, and have marked with brackets J the words since added: the Thoughts on the Progress of Amer ica, was never delivered, Â for the terrible events of that period kept me in the court house during the session of the Convention. If any reader will compare the date of any Sermon or Speech, in these volumes with that of the occa sion thereof, he will see that often very little time was left for the nicety of a work of art. But there was no special reason why the Sermon of Old Age, should have been de livered at the time it was preached, having no reference to any special occasion. I put it at the end of the last vol ume as a fitting termination of the book, as one day it may be of the reader's, or the writer's life.

This book delves into a pivotal period in American history, specifically focusing on the tumultuous events surrounding the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and the escalating tensions over slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War.
