ADVERTISEMENT. . THIS Publication is principally intended for the accommodation of TEACHERS of ELOCU TION, and of YOUNG PERSONS, who are in the course of their EDUCATION ; yet to Readers of every class.....to the private Citizen, and to the Christian, as well as to the advanced Scho. lar, and to the Orator.....it presents an agreea ble companion, particularly suited to fill up short intervals of accidental leisure. A GENERAL view of the variety comprehended in this volume, with the names of the Au thors from whose works extracts have been made, so far as they could be ascertained with certainty, is exhibited in the following TABLE OF CONTENTS. THE DISSERTATION ON ORATORICAL DELIV ERY, and the OUTLINES OF GESTURE, which are prefixed, are mostly abstracted from Chapman's Orator, and are fuller and more minute, it is believed, than what is commonly to be met with in compilations of this sort. LIVING AUTHORS, it is hoped, will not be displeased that useful and elegant passages have been borrowed of them, since, as they wrote to reform and improve the age, they will perceive at once, that to place their most important in. structions, and salutary admonitions, in the hands of Young Persons, and to adapt them to the use of SCHOOLS and ACADEMIES, is to con tribute most effectually to the accomplishment of their benevolent design. The works themselves at large are so voluminous and expensive, as to be precluded from a general circulation..... extracts, therefore, are highly expedient, or ra ther absolutely necessary. |
