Abstract
"...The oratory of the bar is, for the most part, necessarily extemporaneous. not prepared in advance and seldom reported stenographically, many of the courtroom classics have been lost to the world. any yet, from the dawn of history, the forensic orator has held the world captive at his will- spellbound under the magnetic influence of a master mind. Ah, how often has he of honest, loyal heart, brilliant intellect, intense passion, fervid imagination, and fluent voice held and swayed the minds and hearts of man!...The introduction to forensic address found in this volume are not lengthy...I have tried to draw in brief the circumstances that gave interest to each trial and all the while have had an abiding thought that the reader would realize and feel the inspiration that lifted the orator to heights majestic and sublime." - Foreword from volume 1
