                      STANDARD ELOCUTIONARY BOOKS

  =FIVE-MINUTE READINGS FOR YOUNG LADIES.= Selected and adapted by
    WALTER K. FOBES. Cloth. 50 cents.

  =FIVE-MINUTE DECLAMATIONS.= Selected and adapted by WALTER K.
    FOBES, teacher of elocution and public reader; author of
    "Elocution Simplified." Cloth. 50 cents.

  =FIVE-MINUTE RECITATIONS.= By WALTER K. FOBES. Cloth. 50 cents.

  Pupils in public schools on declamation days are limited to five
  minutes each for the delivery of "pieces." There is a great
  complaint of the scarcity of material for such a purpose, while
  the injudicious pruning of eloquent extracts has often marred the
  desired effects. To obviate these difficulties, new "Five-Minute"
  books have been prepared by a competent teacher.

  =ELOCUTION SIMPLIFIED.= With an appendix on Lisping, Stammering,
    and other Impediments of Speech. By WALTER K. FOBES, graduate of
    the "Boston School of Oratory." 16mo. Cloth. 50 cents. Paper, 30
    cents.

  "The whole art of elocution is succinctly set forth in this small
  volume, which might be judiciously included among the text-books of
  schools."--_New Orleans Picayune._

  =ADVANCED READINGS AND RECITATIONS.= By AUSTIN B. FLETCHER, A.M.,
    LL.B., Professor of Oratory, Brown University, and Boston
    University School of Law. This book has been already adopted in a
    large number of Universities, Colleges, Post-graduate Schools of
    Law and Theology, Seminaries, etc. 12mo. Cloth. $1.50.

  "Professor Fletcher's noteworthy compilation has been made with
  rare rhetorical judgment, and evinces a sympathy for the best forms
  of literature, adapted to attract readers and speakers, and mould
  their literary taste."--PROF. J. W. CHURCHILL, _Andover Theological
  Seminary_.

  =THE COLUMBIAN SPEAKER.= Consisting of choice and animated pieces
    for declamation and reading. By LOOMIS J. CAMPBELL, and ORIN
    ROOT, Jun. 16mo. Cloth. 75 cents.

  Mr. Campbell, as one of the editors of "Worcester's Dictionaries,"
  the popular "Franklin Readers," and author of the successful
  little work, "Pronouncing Hand-Book of 3,000 Words," is well known
  as a thorough scholar. Mr. Root is an accomplished speaker and
  instructor in the West, and both, through experience knowing the
  need of such a work, are well qualified to prepare it. _It is a
  genuine success._

  its forms, will be benefited by a liberal use of this practical
  hand-book."--_Prof. Churchill._
