TO the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: When will the English gentlemen who
here lecture learn that the abb ity to
write thing we'll does necessarily carry with II tile
ability to utter it well acceptably, TO an
audience Tue ignorance of their Limitations and
OF the existence OF such thing art Of public
speakng-ony TO be acquired by long practice or train
ipg-which men OF culture like Matthew Arnold and
Canon Farrar display, is surprising.
When OF rs poor mortals ventures
hecdlessly into the domain OF literature. he is her

But English friends aforesaid seem 10 think them
selves qualified To address an audience frOM the PIT
form before they nave learned the elements of
cessfu aud agreeable delivery. II seems To that
eelresprc gentleman should not ask audience Ia

instead OF being attracted by the delivery is wcaried
