Synopsis
Excerpt from The Practical Elocutionist
The writer does not claim to reveal anything new as to the working or application of the general laws regulating correct and graceful delivery. He has only gathered together some of the most useful and important of these laws and set them down in a succinct and, it is hoped, clear form. In doing this, how ever, he has been animated by a desire to stimulate the student to thoughtful and patient application, and to stir in him a spirit of enthusiasm for the subject of his study.
