William Jennings Bryan (March 19, 1860 - July 26, 1925) was a tour de force in American politics around the end of the 19th century. Bryan had a long, distinguished career in politics as a liberal in the Democratic Party, including serving as Secretary of State and presidential candidate. He advocated for democracy, sought peace, and embraced evolution even while opposing the idea of Social Darwinism. Bryan came to be known as "The Great Commoner.".
Bryan gave 500 speeches in his life and all but invented the idea of stumping for president, so who better than the brilliant, eloquent statesman to edit a compilation of the world's most famous orations? Bryan covered the most famous speeches given by the most famous people in Western civilization from Ancient Greece to contemporary times.
The World's Famous Orations include speeches from the likes of Socrates, Cicero, Caesar, Antony, Sir Walter Raleigh, Oliver Cromwell, Tecumseh, Ben Franklin, Patrick Henry, Abraham Lincoln, and many more. In all, Bryan included 281 speeches by 213 speakers.
Chosen by the best orator of his age, the orations offer readers a glimpse into history's turning points as well as being a fantastic reference point.
This edition includes Volume IX, which covers the speeches of America from 1818-1865, marking the struggle over slavery and ultimately the Civil War. This includes 28 speeches by Abraham Lincoln, John Brown, Jefferson Davis, Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, and others.
