Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great, Volume 7
Little Journeys to the Homes of Eminent Orators
This seventh volume of Elbert Hubbard's Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great is devoted to eminent orators, and is given here in the Memorial Edition of 1916. Hubbard, the founder of the Roycroft community in East Aurora, New York, sketches twelve speakers who moved crowds and nations: Pericles, Mark Antony, Savonarola, Martin Luther, Edmund Burke, William Pitt, Jean-Paul Marat, Robert Ingersoll, Patrick Henry, Thomas Starr King, Henry Ward Beecher and Wendell Phillips. Each essay mixes biography, anecdote, opinion and epigram rather than strict history, in the breezy, aphoristic style that made the series enormously popular in its day. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
