GEORGE CARY EGGLESTON
SOUTHERN LITERATURE
[Speech of George Cary Eggleston at the first annual banquet of the New
York Southern Society, February 22, 1887. Algernon Sidney Sullivan,
President of the Society, was in the chair. In introducing the speaker
Mr. Sullivan said: "We want to hear a word about 'Southern
Literature,' and we will now call upon Mr. George Cary Eggleston to
respond to that sentiment."]
MR. PRESIDENT:--I have cheered myself so hoarse that I do not
think I can make a speech at all. I will say a word or two if my voice
holds out. It is patriotically hoarse.
