The leading newspapers published it in full. Vast numbers of copies were sent out in the form of pamphlets. It was declaimed by schoolboys in every schoolhouse. It gave the nation a definite im- pulse towards nationality and it laid down the battle line for those great armies which fought and triumphed iiLthe cause of the Union. i- The speech in itself is worthy of the enormous part it has played in history. It was unstudied and sponta- neous and it displayed in a sublime degree that fusion of ...reason and passion which Macaulay pronounces neces- sary to true eloquence. It is energetic, direct, simple, and it has that rapidity of movement which is the first 134 test of intellectual vigor. It probably received less re- Samuel vision than speeches at that time usually received and I "Walker believe that no great speech of similar length which oc- McCall cupies a place near it in literature was ever the object of less verbal polishing before and after delivery.
