Excerpt from The Art of Extempore Speaking Extempore
It was our privilege to sit at the feet of Dr. Andrew D. White, former president of Cornell University, minister to Russia and Germany and President of the first International Peace Conference at the Hague, and listen to an effective address delivered to students on the subject of extemporaneous speaking. Dr. White earnestly urged all who were preparing for American life to study Abbe Bautain"s "Art of Extempore Speak."
Students lost no time in jotting down the name of the book.
In an attempt to obtain the work we found it was out of print. It occurred to us that if so eminent a man as Dr. White, who had made public speaking a study, and who never lost an opportunity when in France of listening to the eloquent Abbes, whose order required them to speak without notes, recommended so strongly Abbe Bautain"s book, a republication of the work would be good news to thousands of preachers, teachers, laymen and attorneys throughout the English speaking world.
Upon making known our intention to Dr. White we received a communication from him which appears as the Foreword to this edition.
