About this title

Synopsis

The Art Of Reading: Containing A Number Of Useful Rules Exemplified By A Variety Of Selected And Original Pieces, Narrative, Didactic, Argumentative, Poetical, Descriptive, Pathetic, Humourous, And Entertaining, Together With Dialogues, Speeches, Orations, Addresses, And Harangues : Calculated To is a nineteenth-century instructional miscellany compiled by Daniel Staniford to improve reading and public speaking in scholars and families. Packed with general principles for oral delivery—articulation, pronunciation, accent, emphasis, pauses, pitch, tones, and punctuation—it explains how to render written language into natural, expressive speech. The volume interleaves theoretical observations with numerous exemplars drawn from classical and modern writers, including dialogues, moral tales, and extracts from speeches and sermons. Its contents aim to cultivate virtue, religion, and moral sensibility, using literature as a vehicle for ethical instruction. The work is designed as a practical school and home manual, presenting rules and proscribed methods alongside a long parade of illustrative pieces to train cadence, gesture, and inflection.
