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.

"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._
