Book excerpt: Excerpt from Crowned Masterpieces of Eloquence, Representing the Advance of Civilization, Vol. 1: As Collected in the World's Best Orations, From the Earliest Period to the Present Time Who does not delight in oratory? How we gather to hear even an ordinary speaker! How often is a jury swayed and controlled. By the appeals of counsel! Do we not all feel the magic of the power, and when occasionally we are permitted to listen to a great orator how completely we lose ourselves and yield in willing submission to the imperious and impetuous flow of his speech! It is said that after Webster's great reply to Hayne every Massachusetts man walking down Pennsylvania Avenue seemed a foot taller.
