THE ESSENTIALS OF ELOCUTION
Revised, Enlarged, New Matter
By ALFRED AYRES
Author of "The Orthoepist," "The Verbalist," etc., etc.
A unique and valuable guide on the art of speaking the language so as to make the thought it expresses clear and impressive. It is a departure from the old and conventional methods which have tended so often to make mere automatons on the platform or stage instead of animated souls.
