March 1, 1866 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information about the book "Lessons in Elocution: With Numerous Selections, Analyzed for Practice," by Allen A. Griffith. The book whose title is given below is one of a large class. There are "speakers" innumerable or "speech-books," as the school boys more accurately call them, all containing selections in prose and verse and almost all a preliminary essay on elocution, with rules and pictorial illustrations of gesture. Of this book about sixty pages are devoted to the preliminary essay on elocution. It appears from some "Suggestions to Teachers!" which come first, that the book is not intended to be used "without a master."
