The Art of Public Speaking
About this book
This early work on public speaking is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains a wealth of information on the voice, delivery, distinctness and much more. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended for anyone interested in the skills of public speaking. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
