Mark Twain's Speeches
Mark Twain's Speeches gathers the after-dinner talks and public addresses that Samuel Clemens delivered over some forty years, published in 1910, the year of his death, with an introduction by his friend William Dean Howells. Here are the Whittier birthday speech that embarrassed Boston, with Twain's own account of its reception; The Babies; his assaults on the German language; speeches on women's suffrage, municipal corruption, copyright, simplified spelling, osteopathy, billiards and tobacco; tributes to Queen Victoria, Joan of Arc, Henry Irving and Carnegie; and the Seventieth Birthday speech in which he explains how he reached that age by following no rules at all. The volume shows the performer behind the books. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
