Book Description
From the author of the New York Times bestseller Letters of Note comes a collection of 75 of history's most interesting, profound, and sometimes unknown speeches from a range of scintillating personalities such as Frederick Douglass, Justin Trudeau, Albert Einstein, Meghan Markle, Barbara Jordan, and Ursula K. Le Guin. This thoughtfully curated and richly illustrated collection celebrates oratory old and new, highlighting speeches we know and admire, while also shining a light on profound drafts that were never delivered or have until now been forgotten. From George Bernard Shaw's warm and rousing toast to Albert Einstein in 1930 and the commencement address affectionately given to graduates at Long Island University by Kermit the Frog, to the chilling public announcement (that was thankfully never made) by President Richard Nixon should Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin become stranded on the moon, Speeches of Note honors the words and ideas of some of history’s most provocative and inspiring personages.

Excerpt from Collections of Speeches, Statements, Etc. By Dr. James T. Ralph There are many things I could talk with you about which would not be inappropriate on this occasion. I could review for you many statistics of your industry something that is commonly done, but you can find statisticians who know these figures better than I. I could talk to you about the Kennedy Administration's Agricultural record in the first eight months the first Executive Order signed by the President was the move to distribute our abundance to the needy the first major piece of legislation was the Feed Grain Bill and the first long-range plans submitted to the Congress (the enabling portion of the Agricultural Act of 1961) were all agricultural measures. Agriculture is in the forefront of the Kennedy Administration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
