Excerpt from Addresses of Hon. Isidor RaynerThis volume, containing the leading addresses of the late United States Senator Isidor Rayner, has been published at the instance of Mr. William B. Rayner, the only son, and for twenty years the intimate associate and devoted compan ion of the lamented statesman. No thought of commercial profit or material gain prompted Mr. Rayner to provide the means that made this work possible. His sole purpose was the perpetuation of these speeches in some enduring form, for the use of those interested in the genius of the most eloquent and profound orator Maryland has given to the country since Henry Winter Davis. And no more fitting monument to that genius could be reared than the preservation of these matchless orations. Not all of Senator Rayner's public utterances are embodied in this book. Twenty years ago his earlier addresses were published, including those delivered in the Federal House of Representatives. In this later collection will be found the most striking products of this gifted Marylander, from the time he entered the United States Senate. It has been a mat ter of frequent criticism that the representative works of Mary land's distinguished sons have not been conserved in the form that their importance warranted. Mr. Rayner has, therefore, in directing the collection and publication of his father's orations and addresses, performed a service to the people of Maryland and the country at large that has a substantial value.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
