Advanced Readings and Recitations (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Advanced Readings and Recitations The constant practice of the examples given in the Elocutionary Introduction will be of great value in help ing pupils to a mastery of the elements of expression therein presented. The popular fallacy of ignoring the past and attempting to supply the student with the best selections from the literature of the day merely, has been carefully guarded against. The purpose has been rather to draw from the vast storehouse of accumulated eloquence and wisdom some of the gems which have so long re ceived the approval of the best minds as to give full assurance that there is within them that which will con tinne to delight and instruct readers of the present and the future. The writer would here acknowledge his indebtedness to Messrs. Houghton, Mifi'lin Co., and to Messrs. Har per and Brothers for permission to make selections from the copyright editions of their publications also to the indulgence of his publishers, Messrs. Lee and Shepard, and particularly to the living authors whose works are herein represented, for their kind assistance and helpful suggestions.
