 This work, in every edition, is printed on clear new type. It con-
tains about one-half of the speeches of America's greatest living orator
that have been reported during the last ten years; among them his
great oration on Toussaint L'Ouverture.

 Uie stood upon the world'- broad threshold; wide
 rhe lin or hbrile and of slaughter rose;
 He saw *,od eland upon Ibr weaker side,
 That sunk In steniing loss belbre its foes.
 any there were who made great haste und sold
 Into the eunnlng enemy their sword ;
 He scorned their gifsa of tame and power and gold,
 And, underneath their soft and flowery works,
 Heard the cold serpent hiss, therefore he went
 And humblyJoLned him to the weaker put,
 Fanatic named, and fool, yet well content,
 So he could be the nearer to God's heart,
 And reel its solemn pulses sending blood
 Through all the widc-apread veina of endless good. 1
