Excerpt from The Free Speaker: A New Collection of Pieces for Declamation Original as Well as Selected, Intended as a Companion to "the Hundred Dialogues"
The title of this volume furnishes the best reason for its publication. The School Speakers hitherto published have been, to a great extent, reprints of old pieces but this professes to contain such pieces only as are not known to have been published in any text-book for schools.
Besides its novelty, another peculiar feature is its freedom. Wherever a suitable specimen of eloquence has been found, it has been used, and, as there has been little eloquence of late years, except in connection with the great humane or reformatory questions of the age, the proportion of this class of pieces is not small.
