Book Description
Excerpt from Speaking Once again I send out this little book. The motive is as fresh as ever, and the desire greater - to be of use to such as wish to speak well. Confidence in its fit ness also has been confirmed by still more testimonies to the service it has rendered. One thing, however, of an opposite sort has grown upon me - the Wonder and unhappiness Of seeing with what indifference many who look forward to public speaking seem to regard the need Of preparation, and how unaware they are of the detail, the thoroughness, and persistency re quired in it. The first difficulty apparently is to convince a man that there is anything faulty in his speech, and the next to induce him to begin at the beginning with determination to master everything. At first sight it seems incredible and might be thought Offensive when plainly written down, but it is literally true that even the work of the infant school has frequently to be done for themselves by men who have already donned the robe of the public orator.

Excerpt from The Art of Reading and Speaking T1113 demand for this book indicates that there is a strong desire for improved reading and speaking. I wish to thank many correspondents, from all parts of the kingdom, and from America, who have taken so warm an interest in the subject on which I have sought to stir public Opinion. Language is the greatest power in the world. It cm power. English is the most powerful tongue in the world to-day. Science, art, commerce, the intellect, the soul - all bask under it. Nowhere else is there such a literature as we possess. Liberty has been born and fostered under it. By-and-by the English tongue will be the world's tongue. It is worth our while, then, to study it. To quicken its study has been my object in this book, and to raise the standard of speaking in the Senate, in the Church, at the Bar, in the School, in the Home.

Book Description
Excerpt from Clear Speaking and Good Reading This is no doubt granted; but the art requires more. It requires the preservation and careful train ing of that elegance of voice which Nature bestows on almost all of us. This sounds ridiculous. The voices of some of our friends, as we mentally run them over, are harsh, commonplace, affected, strident, feeble, fluffy, sloppy, grating, silly. There is no end to the epithets by which we can describe other people's voices; but, surely such epithets may be applied only to some voices. And these some were they always harsh and commonplace? Was there not a time when they were restrained, sweet, and pathetic? Are they not sometimes restrained, sweet, and pathetic still? And of other voices, as we mentally run them over - what words are too beautiful to describe them? Stirring and enthusiastic voices; soft and persuasive voices; mysterious, penetrating.

Excerpt from Humanly Speaking But in the middle of the track was an indu bitable fact. By all the rules of argumentation it had no business to be there, trespassing on the right of way. But there it was! We trembled to think of the impending collision. But the collision between the argument and the fact never happened. The humanly speak ing was the switch that turned the argument safely on a parallel track, where it went whiz zing by the fact without the least injury to either. Many things which are humanly Speak ing impossible are of the most common occur rence and the theologian knew it.
