Speeches: Literary and Social is a collection of speeches by the famous English author Charles Dickens. The book contains a total of 16 speeches that Dickens delivered at various events and occasions. The speeches are divided into two categories - literary and social. The literary speeches cover topics related to literature, such as the importance of reading, the role of the writer in society, and the power of storytelling. The social speeches, on the other hand, deal with social issues of the time, such as poverty, education, and the rights of women. The book provides a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the greatest writers of the 19th century. Through his speeches, Dickens reveals his thoughts and opinions on a wide range of topics, from the state of education in England to the plight of the poor. His speeches are filled with wit, humor, and passion, and they offer a unique perspective on the Victorian era. Overall, Speeches: Literary and Social is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and works of Charles Dickens. The book provides a valuable glimpse into the mind of a literary giant and offers a fascinating look at the social and cultural issues of the time.CAPTAIN HEWETT, - I am very proud and happy to have been selected as the instrument of conveying to you the heartfelt thanks of my fellow-passengers on board the ship entrusted to your charge, and of entreating your acceptance of this trifling present.
