Prefaratory note. Twenty-eight years ago, in 1863, Wendell Phillips yielded to the solicitations of his friends, and revised for publication a selection of his Speeches, Lectures, and Letters. The moment was well chosen. On the one hand public interest in the Antislavery question, the constant burden of the orator's utterance, had widened and deepened with the progress of the war, and had reached its height when the Emancipation Proclamation appeared; and on the other hand, the personal popularity of Mr. Phillips was steadily rising throughout the North and the West. Both these changes account in part for the welcome the volume at once received. But its permanent place among the records of American eloquence is due to deeper and intrinsic reasons. The classic is always contemporary. If the immediate occasion and subject of the speaker pass, the truth and conviction which inspire his appeal are not lost; and while the charm of voice and action may die with the moment, or

Both td the student of oratory will find no better or safer model than Mr. Phillips, if he would seek direct, incisive speech, abundance and felicithilippic. Repeated calls have been made for other speeches of Mr. Phillips. At the time of his death he not only had a further selection i The present volume forms part of a larger plan.

s of Mr. Phillips. At the time of his death he not only had a further selection in mind, but had revised certain lectures, and had promised a second volume to the present publishers. This collection, therefore, is intended as a partial fulfilment of his own purpose, no less than as an answer to the popular demand. It illustrates the wide range of time and topic covered by his interest and his eloquence. It begins with the earliest of his speeches, delivered nine months before the famous Lovejoy address which stands first in the other volume, and closes with his last public utterance, his tribute to the memory of Harriet Martineau. An interval of over forty-six years separates the two addresses. A glance at the table of contents shows how wide a variety of subjects has been treated. Beside his recognized leadership in the Antislavery movement, he stands forth as an early champion of other reforms,--Woman's Suffrage, the Labor Agitation, Temperance, and Penal Legislation. The

It will set in strong relief the pure and lofty ideal of conscience and citizenship which he maintained to the end, untouched by flattery and undaunted by threats. In connection with these earlier volumes, it will prove, it is hoped, a full and trustworthy record of the orator and agitator, and an enduring monument to his work and fame. The editor and publishers return their grateful acknowledgments to Mr. J. M. W. Yerrinton, the lifelong friend of Mr. Phillips, to whose skilful pencil the abiding memory of his eloquence is so largely due.

Galahad (search for this): chapter 2
Epigraph. Knight-errant of unfriended Truth, he blew His magic note that charmed the air to song Before grim castles, and to frowning Wrong Flung down his gauntlet. Giant Error flew, Full-armed, to crush him; but his falchion true Smote the foul monster prone the earth along. Meat from the eater, honey from the strong, Not he, but others, through his conflict drew. Alert, unwearied, with his lance at rest, What wonder he should win where others fail? Each high emprise led up to farther quest; No selfish rust bedimmed his shining mail: Of all our Table Round the purest, best,-- Our Galahad beheld the Holy Grail! T. C. P. Boston, April, 1891.
