Edition Notes

"Furnishing numerous specimens of American eloquence: from the presidential chair, the head quarters of the military commander, the seat in Congress, the pulpit on various occasions, the bench of the judge, the bar, stations of literary honor, the seat of the muses, and from the shade of private life. Containing rules for the proper use of pauses, for graceful and per-suasive pronunciation, and for appropriate and impressive gesture; to improve the scholar in reading and speaking, while enriching the mind with religious, virtuous, and useful knowledge."--title page.
