Synopsis
The National Fifth Reader: Containing A Complete And Practical Treatise On Elocution, Select And Classified Exercises In Reading And Declamation, With Biographical Sketches, And Copious Notes : Adapted To The Use Of Students In Literature by Richard Green Parker is a thorough classroom resource from the 19th-century United States. It trains advanced readers in elocution and English-American literature through a combined theory-practice approach. Part I develops elocution techniques—orthography (ORTHOEPY), syllabication, accent, inflection, modulation, expression, pauses, and diction—paired with abundant exercises and drill responses. Part II offers a body of readings: prose, verse, and dramatic selections drawn from a broad English-language canon, complemented by biographical sketches, historical notes, and contextual annotations to aid comprehension and performance. Ancillary features emphasize pronunciation, editorial guidance, and teacher-friendly drills to minimize dictionary use. The material emphasizes moral exhortation, cultural literacy, and the craft of rhetoric, treating reading as skilled performance rather than mere text comprehension. It reflects a mid-to-late 19th-century American educational ethos focused on virtue, industry, and literary cultivation.
