Excerpt from The Golden Age of American Oratory The descriptions of Henry Clay and of Rufus Choate in this volume appeared originally in Put nam's Magazine. The favorable opinion then expressed of them by persons of knowledge and judgment encouraged the author to attempt the description of a circle of their contemporary orators. The view of Fisher Ames here given was origi nally presented in the form of a Lecture before the Mercantile Library Association of Boston, and a portion of the description of Edward Everett's oratory was pronounced as an Oration on the Fourth of July, before the City Authorities of Boston. With these exceptions, the matter of the book is now first published. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
