Each individual will find that the perusal and study of this book, though it may fail to render him a Demosthenes or a Cicero-will yet so quicken and improve his natural gifts that his one talent may be increased to ten; he will find his attitude more graceful; his gestures more expressive, his voice more powerful, and his whole physical powers improved. While giving appropriate utterance to the noble, sublime, beautiful and amusing lines of our great writers will expand the mind and polish the manners.
