I picked up an old book
It started in the year 597
The coming of Christianity
Ethelbert at the Isle of Thanet
Then it went to
1066
The Rage of Battle
Duke William of Normandy
Address to his army before the battle of Hastings
1388
Bondsmen and Freemen
John Ball’s address to the rebels at Blackheath
I’m some where in the middle now but went to the end
1914 September
“A scrap of paper”
RT. Hon. D. Lloyd George at Queen’s Hall, London
Then in the end it jumped back in time
1914 August
John Redmond to the House of Commons
From
Every man’s Library
Oratory
Edited by Ernest Rhys
