Very desirable work with no other examples on the market presently.

Includes chapters on both preachers and political orators, including a fascinating chapter on the influence of oratory. Then sections on James Otis, Samuel Adams, John Hancock, John Adams, Patrick Henry, Alexander Hamilton, Fisher Ames, William Pinkney, William Wirt, Thomas Addis Emmet, John Randolph, etc. 

Magoon, E. L. Orators of the American Revolution. New York. Baker and Scribner. 1848. First Edition. 456pp. 

Good + example with some expert repair to spine, boards bright, very solid. Some moderate foxing toward edges of text block. One signature ever-so-slightly forward in the binding. A nice example of a scarce and very desirable volume.
