- The Dime Youth's Speaker and Reform Orator: Comprising Topics of the Times, Treated in Beautiful Extracts and Original Discourse, Prose and Verse from the Most Noted Speakers and Writers

New York, Beadle and Adams, 1870. Paperback. 16mo. Orange pictorial wrappers. viii, 94pp, (6pp ads). Good plus. Chipped at head and tail of slim spine, but overall fairly attractive, clean and handleable; usual delicacy and usual even age toning. Interesting, eclectic collection of short oratorical speeches from authors today largely obscure. Exceptional condition, given the low-quality paper on which these were printed; largely free of the edge tears and edge chips that plague these publications. Cover title "Beadle's Dime Youth's Speaker," No. 16 of this series. Fun front wrapper graphic of a shield-wielding knight waving his sword. A "penny dreadful" spinoff. .
