Why write this book? say you. Because it is needed, say I.
There is no digest of elocution that is both methodical and practical, and that is low in price, now in the market.
This book is an epitome of the science of elocution, containing nothing that is not necessary for you to know, if you wish to make yourself a good reader or speaker.
You who will thoroughly study and digest this book, and then put in practice what you here have learned, will have started on the road, the goal of which is Oratory.
