Excerpt from Extempore Speech: How to Acquire and Practice It The following pages are the result of considerable observation and experience. Fifteen years ago the writer published a small volume entitled Oratory; Sacred and Secular, in which the same general views were set forth, though more slightly and crudely ex pressed. In this work the recognized defects of that earlier efl'ort are supplied; and it is believed that all persons who have natural adaptation to public speech will here find all necessary directions to guide them by the shortest and surest road to success.
