Overview

Excerpt from The Art of Elocution as an Essential Part of Rhetoric: With Instructions in Gesture and an Appendix of Oratorical, Poetical, and Dramatic Extracts Of the importance, if not the necessity, of such an art to a perfect system of education, one would think thus could not be two opinions. We must all speak it must therefore be desirable to speak with propriety and force; as much so as regards the utterance of our language as its grammatical accuracy. And though any language, however meagre and however mean, and any utterance, however imperfect and inelegant, so that it be barely intelligible, may be sufficient for the com monest purposes of speech, yet something more refined is surely necessary even to the ordinary conversation of the gentleman and the man of education.
