Some time since I was requested by a number of young men to address them upon the art of composition and effective public speech. Thinking how best to make such a topic interesting as well as instructive, I resolved to illustrate the lecture by securing, if at all possible,ipersonal experiences and counsels from a few of the leading writers and speakers of our day. Appealing to several well known authors and orators, and receiving valued and helpful replies, I was induced to extend the number of such personal testimonies, with the idea of giving them to those for whom they were designed in a more permanent form than an address spoken from the lecture plat form. This volume is the outcome, so far as the above-mentioned communications bear directly upon the art of effective written composition.
