Excerpt from An Instructive Elocution: Designed Especially for Teachers and Private Learners The writer is well aware that bundles of good, bad, and indifferent literature, are already very numerous. He is also aware that these bundles of literature are of but little value to the individual learner, so far as instruction in elocution is concerned. Any work which con tains a plain, concise and practical system of elocutionary instruction, is of special value; and it is believed that such works are exceedingly rare. Any effort however humble, which is intended to aid the student of elocution, ought to meet with encouragement. For nothing is more apparent than the need of improvement in elocution. Few per sons read well, and still fewer speak well. Even among teachers the need of elocutionary instruction and discipline is miserably apparent. No other branch so imperatively demands to be taught by example. Hence, pupils generally read about as well as their teachers, but no better. Of course, we here speak of the art of elocution.
