"Professor Fletcher's noteworthy compilation has been made with rare rhetorical judgment, and evinces a sympathy for the best forms of literature, adapted to attract readers and speakers, and mould their literary taste."--Professor J. W. CHURCHILL, Andover Theological Seminary.

=THE BOOK OF ELOQUENCE= A collection of extracts in prose and verse from the most famous orators and poets By CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER $1.50

"What can be said that is more eloquent praise than that Charles Dudley Warner has carefully selected three hundred and sixty-four specimens of the choicest things from the world's literature? If there is any subject untouched, we fail to discover it. It is a compendium of the world's eloquence. It is useless to tell who is in here, for everybody is; and it is clear that Mr. Warner has made his extracts with great care. It has the most eloquence ever packed into twice as many pages."

=VOCAL AND ACTION LANGUAGE, CULTURE AND EXPRESSION= New edition By E. N. KIRBY instructor in elocution in Boston University By mail 83 cents.

"This is a treatise, at once scientific and practical, on the theory and art of elocution. It treats of the structure of the vocal organs, of vocal culture and expression, of action-language, gesticulation, the use of the body and hands in oratory, etc. There is also a well-arranged collection of extracts for elocution. The work is well adapted for use as a text-book on elocution, and for study by professional students."--Indianapolis Journal.

=FIVE-MINUTE RECITATIONS= By WALTER K. FOBES 50 cents

Pupils in public schools, on declamation days, are limited to five minutes each for the delivery of "pieces." There is a great complaint of the scarcity of material for such a purpose, while the injudicious pruning of eloquent extracts has often marred the desired effects. To obviate these difficulties new "Five-Minute" books have been prepared by a competent teacher.

"We have never before seen packed in so small a compass so much that may be considered really representative of the higher class of oratory."--Boston Transcript.

=ELOCUTION SIMPLIFIED= With an appendix on Lisping, Stammering and other Impediments of Speech By WALTER K. FOBES graduate of the "Boston School of Oratory" Cloth 50 cents. Paper 30 cents

"The whole art of elocution is succinctly set forth in this small volume, which might be judiciously included among the text-books of schools."--New Orleans Picayune.
