We would like very much to see COCA coz
lection of the speeches found in the most cui-

and carefully edited, they would make an ann.
rable manual of popular effective oratory; SO.
Pcable with few and slight notifications o.
perfect models for all ages, and all natioas

We hope some spirited publisher wi. SC.
