Famous Orators of the World and Their Best Orations [PDF ebook] 
Containing the Lives of the Greatest Orators and Their Best Orations From Earliest Times to Present Day, With an Account of Place and Time of Delivery of Each Oration and Explanatory Notes on Obscure Passages

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. From this fact we can but conclude that the necessary equipment for the higher type of oratory demands far more than mere readiness in speech, grace in gesture, and fluent command of language. Back of these accomplishments must rest superior powers of thought, logical consistency in reason ing, quickness and brilliancy of conception, control of rhetorical expedients, and much of what is known as personal magnetism.
