KLEISER, GRENVILLE. Pocket guides to public speaking. 10v ea *$1 Funk 808.5
Mr Kleiser, formerly instructor in public speaking at Yale divinity school and author of a number of works bearing on the subject, has prepared the ten small volumes that compose this series. The titles are: How to speak without notes (20–7372); Something to say: how to say it (20–7370); Successful methods of public speaking (20–7371); Model speeches for practise (20–7369); The training of a public speaker (20–7373); How to sell through speech (20–7300); Impromptu speeches: how to make them (20–7375); Word-power: how to develop it (20–7374); Christ: the master speaker (20–7277); Vital English for speakers and writers (20–7283).
“In these days when the tendency is so strong towards degeneracy in the use of the English language it would be difficult to exaggerate the value of such a contribution as Professor Kleiser has made in these volumes towards the use of proper forms and pure language in ordinary speaking as well as writing. They are of almost equal value to the clergyman, lawyer, publicist, salesman and letter-writer.” H. H. F.

“In this case the whole is actually less than one of the parts, for in volume 1 Mr Kleiser gives a chapter of Quintilian that is worth appreciably more than all of Mr Kleiser. His additions to it subtract from it by hiding it from the casual gaze.”

“The suggestions are sensible, sound, comprehensive, and written in terse and understandable language. Many practiced speakers could improve their style by following them.”
