Excerpt from The Essentials of Effective Gesture for Students of Public Speaking
I wish here to acknowledge my indebtedness to my former students at the College of the City of New York for many practical suggestions; also to Mr. A. M. Bacon's Manual of Gesture, which, by its admirable pioneer work in systematizing the subject, has lightened my task at many points. For helpful encouragement, and generous assistance in reading the proof-sheets, I wish to thank my wife, Anna W. Mosher, and my colleagues at the College of the City of New York, Professors Erastus Palmer.
