ELOCUTION MADE EASY.

CONTAINING RULES AND SELECTIONS FOR DECLAMATION AND READING, WITH FIGURES ILl.u.s.tRATIVE OF GESTURE, ETC.

BY RUFUS CLAGGETT, A. M.

This book is given to the public with a view to encourage the study and practice of a branch of education which gives a tenfold vigor to all other intellectual acquirements. Thousands of men, otherwise well educated, are often heard to lament their neglect of Elocution in their school-boy days, and their consequent inability to utter in public those thoughts which they would gladly disseminate, and thereby confer a benefit on society.

The Selections in this work are princ.i.p.ally from standard American authors, and contain everything which can enn.o.ble the mind and fill it with exalted ideas of patriotism and virtue. At the same time, the price of the book is so low that it can be placed in the hands of every pupil, where, indeed, we are confident it will shortly find its way.

NOTICES.

_From the Brooklyn Evening Star._

Mr. Claggett, the author of this work on Elocution, has well performed his task, giving evidence on every page of his familiarity with the subject.

He has prepared several rules easily understood and applied, and appended forty-eight figures ill.u.s.trative of gestures. The selections, both in prose and poetry, are carefully made with reference to the object of the work. We should like to see the work in daily use in our schools.

_From the New-York Express._

The whole theory and practice of the art of Elocution is so dissected and simplified, that the pupil cannot fail to get a thorough understanding of the subject.

Sent by mail, post-paid, on receipt of 30 cents.
