A Practical Manual of Elocution, Embracing Voice and Gesture: Designed for Schools, Academies and Colleges, As Well As for Private Learners (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Practical Manual of Elocution, Embracing Voice and Gesture: Designed for Schools, Academies and Colleges, as Well as for Private Learners

I am aware of the difficulty of setting forth with perfect clearness a subject which is new and such will this be to many into whose hands this book will fall. Yet I flatter myself that I have succeeded in rendering the entire sub jcet so simple that any person of ordinary resolution and perseverance can master it, even without an instructor. This object I have had constantly in view, with the ham that many a young man, already engaged in the duties of the holy ministry, may be induced to subject himself to a course of private training, which may both prolong his life, and make every portion of it more useful. Still, a few lessons from a good teacher, when access can be had to one, will greatly facilitate the progress of the learner.
