Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of 47 speeches from the early years of the Clark Prize competition at Hamilton College. Chosen for their thoughtfulness and eloquence, they provide an insightful opportunity to study not only the orators of the era but the cultural and historical context of the mid-19th century. The speeches were written on topics as diverse as the American civil war and the legacy of Rome, offering an in-depth examination of the intellectual and social concerns of the time.
