Excerpt from Pulpit Elocution
The design of the present work, is, as intimated in the title, to furnish a manual of elocution, prepared with 'particular reference to the purposes of the pulpit.
The author's previous publications, - the American Elocutionist, and the volume on Orthophony, are intended for general use, in all literary establishments in which elocution forms a department of instruction. These two manuals furnish, it is thought, all the requisite means of acquiring a thorough knowledge of the principles of elocution, - either in a practical or a scientific form, at the option of the student
The Orthophony prescribes the elementary discipline by which to train the organs to vigor and pliancy, and to mould the voice, in adaptation to the various modes of expressive utterance. It furnishes a series of elementary lessons on the systematic cultivation of the voice, - adapted to the theory and nomenclature of Dr. Hush. It includes, also, the methods of instruction, and the forms of exercise, introduced by Mr. J. E. Murdoch, in bis system of "vocal gymnastics," along with those which are used by the author of the present volume, in his modes of practical training.
The Elocutionist presents, more particularly, the correct pronunciation of words, and the application of the rules of elocution, in connection with rhetoric and prosody.
