| ORAToRY-SACRED AND SECULAR: OR THE
ExTEMPoRANE0Us SPEAKER; Including Chair
mans guide for conducting public meetings ac-
cording to the best parliamentary forms. By
VIM; Pittenger, with an introduction by John
a. Bingham, M G. handsome 12 no. volume
OF 20 pages, tinted paper, beveled boards, post
paid 81. so. s. r. Wells publisher, $50 Broadway,
New York.
The author of this little manual has en-
deavored to point out and remove the him
ORANGES likely to be met with by those who
are beginning to speak in public. In part,
first written and extempore speaking are
compared, and the superior power of the
latter shown. Among the prerequisites are
stated to be intellectual competency, strength
of body, command of language, courage,
tirnness and self reliance With these quail
ifeations, and emotion a cultivated heart
and earnestDess of manner, the speaker has
the elements of success. The chapter ON
the cultivation Of these qualities gives friend
~ instructions Of great value to those who
cannot have the advantage of living teach
er and model
Part second considers pulpit oratory, and
treats in a familiar and forcible manner the
foundation, plan and preliminaries of an in
structivc and successful discourse Practi-
cal suggestions are given, which are drawn
from the experience of an eloquent pulpit
speaker.
Secular oratory is considered under the
various heads of deliberative legal, popular
and controversial oratory, in which are en-
braced the teacher the statesman, the law
yer, the lecturer and, the highest of them all,
the orator. Illustrative examples are drawn
from Luther, VIM. Pitt, Edmund Burke,
Patrick Henry. Henry Clay, Henry B. Bas-
com, Henry Ward Beecher, and many others.
In free America, above all other nations,
the citizen should be prepared to publicly
express his thoughts, defend the weak, de-
nounce iniquity or maintain the right Few
men in any age or country can ever attain
the sublime heights of the perfect orator; but
all can vastly increase by practice and study
their natural powers of expression. When
education is universal, and every citizen can
read the thoughts of others and express his
own ideas and emotions, the Republic will
be more securely fortified than it would be
with million hireling soldiers and ten
thousand bristling cannon. The battles of
the nation must henceforth be fought
through the public press, in the pulpit, on
the stump and in the family, wherever men
and women exchange ideas and communi-
cate emotions. We hail this book as a friend,
because it seeks to develop the power of
speaking, and thus give the common people
who study it better means of self-defencc.
1t contains valuable suggestions to every
reader and is among the best of the kind
for those whose early education has been
neglected. We wish it could be placed in
every home in the land
