Synopsis

""An Address Delivered Before The Phi Beta Kappa Society Of Harvard University, August 28, 1834: On Classical Learning And Eloquence"" is a book written by William Howard Gardiner. The book is a transcript of a speech delivered by Gardiner before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard University on August 28, 1834. The address focuses on the importance of classical learning and eloquence in education and society. Gardiner argues that the study of classical languages and literature is essential for developing a well-rounded education and for cultivating a sense of moral and ethical responsibility. He also emphasizes the importance of eloquence in public speaking and communication, and discusses the ways in which the study of classical rhetoric can aid in the development of effective communication skills. Overall, ""An Address Delivered Before The Phi Beta Kappa Society Of Harvard University, August 28, 1834: On Classical Learning And Eloquence"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the value of classical education and the role of eloquence in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Every speaker, who addresses any assembly for whatever purpose in the present crisis of affairs, is strongly tempted to find his theme in that allabsorbing subject, national politics. But the occasion of a literary festival (may I not say the chief hterary festival of New England 1) held in this seat of learning, by an association of lettered men, demands that something should be done or attempted for the cause of letters. Conscious of my poor ability to do justice to this cause in any of its wide-spread relations, I approach the subject with great diffidence ;and should gladly have avoided altogether this honorable responsibility, had I any more acceptable excuse than that pressure of other affairs, which, being common to all of us, should be lightly pleaded by none.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
