Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of the Philosophy of Voice and Speech: Especially in Relation to the English Language and the Art of Public Speaking
No writer, native or foreign has, to the knowledge of the author, hitherto attempted to epitomize all the varied subjects introduced in this volume, and to embody the whole in a collected form. In following out his plan, it has been the author's study to treat each subject under a particular head; so that taken separately, each chapter may form a treatise - not exhaustive, but merely suggestive while, taken collectively, they will be found correlated and collateral to the main subject.
