About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Lessons in Elocution; With Numerous Selections, Analyzed for Practice: A Text Book in Reading and Speaking, for Schools, Seminaries, and Private Learners

An attempt is made in this book to reduce the principles of Elocution to a system, and present them to the student in an analytical and progressive form. It is believed that more of our young men and misses would be interested in the exercise of reading and recitation if they could have placed in their hands a work which would supply the place of the living teacher in showing them how. Many educators have taken it for granted that any one could learn a piece and recite it, and have allowed those under their immediate charge to follow their own ideas in this department, and hence there have been monotony, indifference, and, too frequently, failure.
