Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Library of Oratory, Ancient and Modern: With Critical Studies of the World's Great Orators by Eminent Essayists
An orator who is quickly sensitive to the moods of his audit ence, and whose moods are re?ected in his voice, manner and expression, can safely indulge in, or will necessarily be moved to, emotions and passions which have a tremendous effect upon his audience. A speaker gets into trouble when he attempts to make use of those elements which are the property of the orator only, for he is apt to overdo or underdo them, and be laughed off the platform or into his seat. His pathos becomes bathos; and his eloquence, grandiloquence.
