Excerpt from Brief Declamations

This volume has been prepared with a view of bringing together pieces that are generally new, brief, and suitable for speaking.

While a number of the old favorites have been retained because of their acknowledged merit as models for declamation, the endeavor has been to impress upon the book a modern aspect.

Pieces should be brought within a three-minute limit. It is best to concentrate effort upon a few lines. They will be better learned, better spoken, and better listened to.

The opportunities of youth for committing to mem ory are golden. Therefore, the aim in such a book should be to put before the pupil a varied collection that Will enrich the memory, form the taste, and afford after-service and delight.

An attempt has been made, so far as possible, to give the dates of the birth and death of authors, with an indication of their principal pursuits and places of residence. Fullness was of course more practicable in some cases than in others.
