With reference to them, Dr. Porter remarks in his Directions respecting his mss. These Lectures were ia tended as a sequel to those which have been incorporated into my Analysis of Rhetorical Delivery. I was induced to enlarge on the vocal organs, by urgent request of those whose judgment I regarded, and because no instruction on the abuses of those organs, has been accessible in' any regular form to young min istera. The Lectures on Style are also designedly limited in extent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Eloquence, Vol. 4: Lectures A E What we call in America Stump Oratory - oratory in its roughest and most familiar shape - still plays a great part - a part which hardly seems to lessen in its in uence over the people at large. To be fully satisfied, they must hear the man speak', and give themselves up to the sound of his voice. Whenever a campaign comes on, all the available vocal power is called into action, and Whoever watches the effect will see that the oratory of the campaign is a very powerful and invigorating force. In 1872 a large number Of the leading men and news papers had placed themselves in opposition to General Grant, and there were weeks during which his election seemed more than doubtful; but the campaign orator had not been at work a fortnight before you could feel the change. Not only were there words, but you had looked into the face Of the man who said them. When you read what is written, the power of the written word depends much upon your mood. When you hear a man speak, his power depends much on his mood. You natu rally lend your thoughts to him. Moreover, the rest Of your fellows in the audience do their part, and there comes on that irresistible power of human sympathy which gives you your share of the emotion of others and mingles your thoughts with theirs.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE VOCAL ORGANS. The foregoing inquiries, why strength of voice is important to a preacher, on what it depends, and how it is promoted by exercise, lead to some practical reflections on which I propose to enlarge. These reflections all have respect to one chief point, the preservation of the vocal organs. In more than one instance, Gentlemen, I have heard young ministers, who had been my pupils, whispering with broken lungs, their surprise, that the point I am now urging should not have been seasonably thought of by themselves. My reply to them has been as it will be to any of you, should I hear you utter the same regret, some five years hence; "It is not the fault of your Instructors, that these things have not been thought of." While this subject is in hand then, I affectionately offer you some admonitory remarks, in the hope that they may save some of you from those painful lessons, which so many have refused to learn from any teacher but experience. It is a subject, I am well aware, which belongs rather to the Medical Professor, than to me. But if the learned physician well understands the danger of the public speaker, which is not always the case, his counsel, in most instances, does not bear on the mischief in season. It is not sought except to administer the " pound of remedy," where the " ounce of prevention" was neglected. Nor am I such a novice in human affairs, as to expect that any counsels which I can give, by way of premonition, will be seasonably and seriously regarded by more than one in ten of those to whom they are addressed. One who had the very best opportunities for observation on this subject, and who was much distinguished too for discrimination of judgment, remarked...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Eloquence: Counsel on the Art of Public Speaking; With Many Illustrative Examples, Showing the Style and Method of Famous Orators Eloquence is the sister of poetry, and this is not the less true when the term eloquence is limited to spoken discourse; for, in the beginning, both eloquence and poetry were equally spon taneous in utterance, the first poets being rhap sodists. Poetry, to its great advantage, long ago became a slave of the pen; but eloquence, by its very nature, remains free. Still, the two have never lost the indicia of their original kinship. The old saying that the poet is born and the orator made is one of those time-honored epi grams that will not bear close examination. Genius, talent, special aptitude, circumstances play as large a part in the one case as in the other. The great orator is as truly a product of genius as the great poet, and neither can be made by any amount of practice. It would be as ixnpossible for a training-school to create a Demosthenes as 8. Homer. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres, Vol. 1 of 2 Indeed, when the arts of speech and writing are mentioned, I am sensible that prejudices against them are apt to rise in the minds of many. A sort of art is immediately thought of, that'is ostenta tious and deceitful; the minute and trifling study of words alone; the pomp of expression the studied fallacies of rhetoric; ornament substituted in the room of use. We need not wonder, that, under such imputations, all study of discourse, as an art, should have suffered in the opinion of men of understanding; and I am far from denying, that rhetoric and criticism have sometimes been so ma naged as to tend to the corruption, rather than to the improvement, of good taste and true eloquence. But sure it is equally possible to apply the prin ciples of reason and good sense to this art, as to any other that is cultivated among men. If the following Lectures have any merit, it will consist in an endeavour to substitute the application of these principles in the place of artificial and scholastic rhetoric; in an endeavour to explode false orna ment, to direct attention more towards substance than show, to recommend good sense as the founa dation of all good composition, and simplicity an essential to all true ornament.
