HIS FIRST BOOK.
One Of Britain's Most Versatile Orators. © PRINCE'S SPEECHES. (Received 2 p.m.) LOXDON, October 3. The Prince of Wales is introduced to the literary world to-day in a volumn entitled: "H.R.H., His Speeches Prom 1923-26."
As one of Britain's niost versatile orators, the book reveals him as a master of tactful phraseology. He made his first public speech when seventeen years of age when he was invested Prince of Wales at Carnarvon Castle.
It was of the briefest: "I shall not forget to-day as long as I Jive, as one which has brought you a new friend. It is true a young friend, but I have great examples before me and I hope to do my duty to my King, to Wales and to all.
The first great post-war' speech was at the Guildhall when he was given the freedom of London.
"The part I played was, I fear, very insignificant but from one viewpoint I do not regret my service overseas. In those four years I mixed with men. In those four-years I found my manhood."
