| | 1 | Author: | Twain, Mark, 1835-1910 | Add | | | Title: | Roughing It Lecture, version 2  | | | | Published: | 2001 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: By request, I will ask leave to introduce the lecturer
of the evening, Mr. Clemens, otherwise Mark Twain — a gentleman whose great
learning, whose historical accuracy, whose devotion to science, and whose
veneration for the truth, are only equaled by his high moral character and
his majestic presence. I refer in these vague and general terms to myself.
I am a little opposed to the custom of ceremoniously introducing a lecturer
to an audience, partly because it seems to me that it is not entirely
necessary, I would much rather make it myself. Then I can get in all the
facts. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
