DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Elocution the Sources and Elements of Its Power: A Textbook for Schools and Colleges, and a Book for Every Public Speaker, and Student of the English Language The author of this work has been engaged in the practice of public speaking, almost without interruption, for thirty years; during the last ten of which, he has also been a systematic student and teacher of the art of elocution. When he accepted the chair of Belles Lettres in Princeton College, in 1860, he received a special request from the Board of Trustees to work up this much neglected department of education although it was not properly included in the duties of his professorship; and with this object in view, they gave him a laborious and faithful assistant in Prof. S. G Peabody. The notes and criticisms, which gradually accumulated upon his hands in successive courses of instruction and training, are here offered to the public in a systematic form, now that his work in the College is drawing to a close. The attention of teachers and students of this art, is requested, in appreciation of the following points. 1. Nearly one half of the work consists in the exhibition of the intellectual, moral, esthetical and physical sources of power in delivery, which, it is believed, have never before been treated of as included in the art of elocution.
