Présentation de l'éditeur

This book contains a varied representation of successful speeches by eminently successful speakers. They furnish, in convenient form, useful material for study and practice. The student is earnestly recommended to select one speech at a time, analyze it carefully, note its special features, practice it aloud, and then proceed to another. In this way he will cover the principal forms of public speaking, and enable himself to apply his knowledge to any occasion. The cardinal rule is that a speaker learns to speak by speaking, hence a careful reading and study of these speeches will do much to develop the student's taste for correct literary and oratorical form. GRENVILLE KLEISER. New York City, August, 1919.
