The Art Of Speech Making PDF Download

Excerpt from The Art of Speech Making: A New and Practical Treatise on the Art of Speech Making, Covering Every Department of Vocal Expression, Adapted to Both Professional and Amateur Speakers The first indication or display of human intelligence, differentiating man from animal, began with the spoken word, antedating all other kinds of communication. The written or printed literature of the world, with its inconceivable circulation and enormous influence, never has interfered with, and never will interfere with, the progress of speech, for the tongue will always maintain its right of way over inanimate type, and will continue forever to command the armies of endeavor on every field of accomplishment. While the book and the newspaper may be considered the elected and accepted organs of general progress, and while, without them, nations would have been strangers and education would have had no vehicle for its movement, the influence and power of speech have not been, and never can be, overestimated or exaggerated.
