STANDARD ELOCUTIONARY BOOKS
FIVE-MINUTE READINGS FOR YOUNG LADIES. Selected and adapted by Walter K. Fobes. Cloth. 50 cents.
FIVE-MINUTE DECLAMATIONS. Selected and adapted by Walter K. Fobes, teacher of elocution and public reader; author of "Elocution Simplified." Cloth. 50 cents.
FIVE-MINUTE RECITATIONS. By Walter K. Fobes. Cloth. 50 cents.
Pupils in public schools on declamation days are limited to five minutes each for the delivery of "pieces." There is a great complaint of the scarcity of material for such a purpose, while the injudicious pruning of eloquent extracts has often marred the desired effects. To obviate these difficulties, new "Five-Minute" books have been prepared by a competent teacher.
ELOCUTION SIMPLIFIED. With an appendix on Lisping, Stammering, and other Impediments of Speech. By Walter K. Fobes, graduate of the "Boston School of Oratory." 16mo. Cloth. 50 cents. Paper, 30 cents.
"The whole art of elocution is succinctly set forth in this small volume, which might be judiciously included among the text-books of schools."—New Orleans Picayune.
ADVANCED READINGS AND RECITATIONS. By Austin B. Fletcher, A.M., LL.B., Professor of Oratory, Brown University, and Boston University School of Law. This book has been already adopted in a large number of Universities, Colleges, Post-graduate Schools of Law and Theology, Seminaries, etc. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50.
"Professor Fletcher's noteworthy compilation has been made with rare rhetorical judgment, and evinces a sympathy for the best forms of literature, adapted to attract readers and speakers, and mould their literary taste."—Prof. J. W. Churchill, Andover Theological Seminary.
THE COLUMBIAN SPEAKER. Consisting of choice and animated pieces for declamation and reading. By Loomis J. Campbell, and Orin Root, Jun. 16mo. Cloth. 75 cents.

Mr. Root is an accomplished speaker and instructor in the West, and both, through experience knowing the need of such a work, are well qualified to prepare it. It is a genuine success.
