Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Speakers of the House In 1789, when the first Congress convened under Washington, the Speaker of the House of Representatives was merely a moderator, who presided over the sessions of that body with calm deliberation and impartial favor. The prestige of his position lay rather in its honor than in its power. In 1909, after an interval of a hundred and twenty years, the Speaker of the House of Representatives is quite the most potent factor in American legislative life. There is some room for saying that he is even more powerful than the President of the United States. Today the Speaker is the absolute arbiter of our national legislation. He can dictate what laws shall be enacted and what bills shall be defeated. An attempt has been made in this volume to give a brief, dispassionate story of this development of power by the presiding officers of the lower House of Congress. Effort has been made to avoid the dry and technical mysteries of parliamentary law. The book is not intended as a text book on that intricate subject. In the effort to popularize the work all annotations and references have been omitted of purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Speaker of the House of Representatives For a just appreciation of an office depending so much upon unwritten practice, this work should have been the labor of some member of the House of Representatives, long experienced in public life. Since none such has come forward, I have ventured the task, and have tried by patient study of the records and by inquiry from men in public life at least to prepare the way for a proper study of the Speaker.

Winthrop: Speaker of the House One tribute to his memory is left to be rendered. One monument remains to be reared. A monument which shall bespeak the gratitude, not of states, or of cities, or of governments; not of separate communities, or of official bodies; but of the people, the whole people of the nation; a National Monument, erected by the citizens of the United States of America. Of such a monument we have come to lay the corner stone here and now. On this day, on this spot, in this pre sence, and at this precise epoch in the history of our country and of the world, we are about to commence this crowning work of commemoration. The day, the place, the witnesses, the period in the world's history and in our own history, all, all are most appropriate to the occasion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History and Procedure of the House of Representatives In his friendly talks on the evolution of the House procedure, Mr. Reed delighted to dwell upon the idio syncrasies of the past. The indisposition of early legis lators to aid in the expedition of business amused him. Members loved to exploit their opinions then as much as now, he said, and the only reason why we are not as overloaded with their speeches is because Congress wisely refused to pay for their publication. Even when business and membership increased, they preferred to jog along in the old stage-coach fashion. Few knew any thing of the Code. When things got into a tangle it was easier to suspend the rules than to untie the knots. It provoked his criticism that the House, rather than give up the selfish habit of making long speeches, reversed the Speaker's ruling cutting off all debate after the pre vious question had been ordered. Even after the prin ciple was fully established in 1811, the speech-loving members invoked its relief only four times in the next twenty years. In fact, the House had existed over half a century before it limited the length of speeches to one hour. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Book of Cambridge Verse Nevertheless, after all deductions have been made, how much true poetry is yet left! He must be hard to please who cannot find intense enjoyment in the Eclogues of Phineas Fletcher, in Cowley's epitaph on Harvey, in the Miltonic stanzas of Gray's Installation Ode, in a score of other pieces, grave, quaint, or classical in their allusive ness of phrasing. Especially grateful must we be to the number of poets, of exquisite feeling and easy mastery of form, who during the last fifty or sixty years have enriched the language with delicate and elegant verse, from which it has been only too difficult to choose because its quantity is so great and its merit so even. Of this we trust we have given a tolerably adequate selection but it would have been easy to multiply it fourfold.
