The Publisher's fore-note reads “As the author of the following sketches has enviable place among orators and writers, we believe the collection of his public addresses and writings will furnish genuine pleasure to a large circle of readers. In making the selections, we have carefully abstained from including any of Mr. Parson's political speeches, although they would fill a large and interesting volume, because they are necessarily of partisan character. To us, those we have chosen to appear unusually interesting and instructive, and well worthy of preservation.”
The covers of the book are chipped along the edges and exhibit some staining and brittleness. The front cover is detached. Other than the covers, the book is in good/very good condition. The book is a first edition, as printed in 1892.
