Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Greening's Popular Reciter and the Art of Elocution and Public Speaking: Being Simple Explanation of the Various Branches of Elocution; Together With Lessons for Self-Instruction
The rules of elocution are designed to correct the bad habits of speech, gesture, and deportment; and to make the voice, the countenance, and body well attuned instruments to respond actively to a mind full of noble thoughts and powerful emotions. So far I have endeavoured to place this subject in the light of a high and pure pleasure, which should be cultivated for the sake of the gratification which it gives. To others, and as an addition to our intellectual attainments.
