this torch of Freedom Stanley
Hodder and Stoughton, St. Paul's House, London Hodder and Stoughton,
St. Paul's House, London. Printing history: First printed - December 1931.
Fourth Edition (first in this form) October 1937. 318pp. Reading his
collected speeches it is easy to understand again his enduring hold on the
hearts and minds of our people. No one has a more unerring instinct for
the common touch, for putting into words what millions are inarticulately
thinking, dreading, or hoping. These speeches, gathered from many
occasions, are compact of wisdom--the homespun wisdom we all know uttered
in that plain style which the skeptical post-war world finds so much more
effective than flights of rhetoric. |
