PREFACE: This book contains a varied representation of successful speeches by eminently successful speakers. The student is earnestly recommended to select one speech at a time, analyze it carefully, note its special features, practise it aloud and then proceed to another. In this way he will cover the principle forms of public speaking, and enable himself to apply his knowledge to any occasion. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
