A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The true orator must understand how to excite the wdrtli as well as how to command the fears of his auditors. To attempt to teachdamig by mere words, and especially written words, all would admit to be the absurdity of absurdities. Just so is it with gesture and attitude. The embellish ments of this volume, it is therefore hoped, will be appre iated. Next to living examples, no diouhi pictures are the best. The illustrations, to which I here allude, have been selected for both divisions of the book with great care. We all have ouipeculiar tastes, and. according to a trite and unclassical aphorism, whats one mans meat is another mans poison. Twill venture to assert, however, that these embellishments will be considered very beautiful, very instructive, and admirably engraved. The book, such as it is, is submitted to the candid judgment of an intelligent and impartial public. My desire has been to subserve the cause of education, and especially in that department, which, if wisely and sufficiently cherished, would give unimagined lustre and power to the efforts of the Lawyer, the Statesman, the Orator, and the Divine. If the noble and aspiring boy, he, who. reaching after a perfect elocution and a perfect action, may, after a few fastfled summers, be destined -to rule the whirlwind and direct the storm, in moral or political affairs, shall look back to the selections here presented for his study, as the source of his youthful inspiration. I shall be thankful. But to arrive at this proud eminence of fame and usefulness, he must labor. Greece and Rome produced, each of them, but one accomplished orator. J. E. L. New Haven, Feb. 1st, 1839. NB. A ny suggestions for the improvement of the v;ork either in arrangement or matter, from those teachers whc may use it will be gratefully received. J. E. L.
