"What can be said that is more eloquent praise than that Charles Dudley Warner has carefully selected three hundred and sixty-four specimens of the choicest things from the world's literature? If there is any subject untouched, we fail to discover it. It is a compendium of the world's eloquence. It is useless to tell who is in here, for everybody is; and it is clear that Mr. Warner has made his extracts with great care. It has the most eloquence ever packed into twice as many pages."
VOCAL AND ACTION LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND EXPRESSION New edition By E. N. Kirby instructor in elocution in Boston University By mail 83 cents.
"This is a treatise, at once scientific and practical, on the theory and art of elocution. It treats of the structure of the vocal organs, of vocal culture and expression, of action-language, gesticulation, the use of the body and hands in oratory, etc. There is also a well-arranged collection of extracts for elocution. The work is well adapted for use as a text-book on elocution, and for study by professional students."—Indianapolis Journal.

FIVE-MINUTE RECITATIONS By Walter K. Fobes 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.
"We have never before seen packed in so small a compass so much that may be considered really representative of the higher class of oratory."—Boston Transcript.
