Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Orthoepist: A Pronouncing Manual, Containing About Three Thousand Five Hundred Words
The written or printed words are only the signs or symbols of thought and feeling; and the best reader is the one who best uses these symbols to convey to the listener the thoughts and feelings which the words rep resent.
Some thoughts are bold, vigorous, and energetic, and show that the mind is roused. Others indicate that cool, calm, and collected state of the mind in which it is ready to deal with every-day matters. Again, the mind may be weighed down by sorrow, ani mated by joy, or softened by pity. Each of these states may be expressed by tones of the voice.
