PRINCE AS AUTHOR.
PUBLICATION OF SPEECHES. FIRST PUBLIC UTTERANCE. FOUND MANHOOD IN WAR. (Australian & N.Z. Gable Assn.) (Received Oct. 4, 2.10 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 3. The Prince of Wales was introduced to the literary world to-day>in a volume “ His Speeches 1923-26, as One of Britain’s Most Versatile Orators.” This reveals him as a master of tactful phraseology. He made his first public speech at the age of 17, when he was invested as Prince of Wales at Carnarvon Castle. It was of the briefest character. 11 1 shall not forget to-day as long as 1 live, as one which brought me a new friend. It is true I am a young friend, but I have great examples before me. I hope 1 shall do my duly to my King, to Wales, and to all.” His first great post-war speech was that at Guildhall, when he was presented with the freedom of London, when he said, inter alia: “ The part I played was, I fear, most insignificant, but from one point of view I do not regret my service overseas. In those four years I mixed with men. In those four years I found my manhood.”
