Book Description
Excerpt from My Recitations Having received many requests for copies of my recitations, it has seemed to me they would be best answered by gathering and publishing them under one cover. Many of these pieces are old and familiar, while others may be less widely known; but among the number I think will be found some to suit the most varied audiences and tastes. As the result of my own experience, I may add that the pieces telling a story are more effective than abstract and purely sentimental ones.
