This is not a book on elocution, but it deals in a practical
common-sense way with the requirements and constituents of effective public speaking. CAPITAL, FAMILIAR, AND RACY "I shall recommend it to our three schools of elocution. It is capital, familiar, racy, and profoundly philosophical."--_Joseph T. Duryea, D.D._ REPLETE WITH PRACTICAL SENSE "It is replete with practical sense and sound suggestions, and I should like to have it talked into the students by the author."--_Prof. J.H. Gilmore_, Rochester University. "KNOCKS TO FLINDERS" OLD THEORIES "The author knocks to flinders the theories of elocutionist, and opposes all their rules with one simple counsel--'Wake up your will.'"--_The New York Evangelist._ TO REACH, MOVE, AND INFLUENCE MEN "He does not teach elocution, but the art of public speaking.... Gives suggestions that will enable one to reach and move and influence men."--_The Pittsburg Chronicle._ _12mo, Cloth, 152 Pages. Price, 75 cents_ |
