Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Oratorical Year Book for 1865: Being a Collection of the Best Speeches Delivered in Parliament, at the Bar, and on the Platform
IN the present volume, which it is hoped is but the first of a long series, an attempt has been made to reproduce in a compact and popular form all the most conspicuous speeches delivered during the year 1865. Hitherto the addresses of our leading statesmen and orators have only been preserved in the columns of the daily press, or, if spoken in Parliament, in the elaborate and expensive volumes of Hansard's Debates.
