In the title of this little book the word forensic is used in its broadest sense. The exercises which have been chosen for practice in declamation have been taken mainly from the oratory of the forum. The chief sources of these selections are the debates of legislative bodies and deliberative assemblies, the special pleadings of the law court, of the hustings, and of the mass meeting, and the arguments of the political pamphlet and of the occasional address. All true oratory is persuasive. Public speaking which aims only to explain or to instruct does not deserve the name of oratory ;but public speaking which not only convinces the intellect and shapes belief, but also arouses the emotions, stirs the soul, and influences conduct, is oratory of the truest type. True oratory, then, the art of convincing and persuading men, appeals both to the intellect and to the emotions. I ts ultimate aim is to influence the thoughts and feelings and actions of men. This is certainly the most practical and useful sort of public speaking.
