| Publisher Description: Good conversation implies naturalness, spontaneity, and sincerity of utterance. It is not advisable, therefore, to lay down arbitrary rules to govern talking, but it is believed that the suggestions offered here will contribute to the general elevation and improvement of daily speech. Considering the large number of persons who are obliged to talk in social, business, and public life, the subject of correct speech should receive more serious consideration than is usually given to it. It is earnestly hoped that this volume will be of practical value to those who are desirous of developing and improving their conversational powers. Appreciative thanks are expressed to the Editors of the Homiletic Review for permission to reprint some of the extracts. GRENVILLE KLEISER. NEW YORK CITY, MAY, 1916. |
