American poetry -- 19th century; United States -- History -- Revolution, 1775-1783 -- Poetry
A Practical and Philosophic Treatise on Vocal Culture, Emphasis, and
Gesture, together with Hints for the Composition of Orations and
Selections for Declamation and Reading, designed as a Text-book for
Schools and Colleges, and for Public Speakers and Readers who are obliged
to Study without an Instructor, fully revised with important Additions
after the Fifteenth Edition.
“It is undoubtedly the most complete and thorough treatise
on oratory for the practical student ever published.”—_The
Educational Weekly_, Chicago.
“I consider it the best American book upon technical elocution.
It has also leanings toward a philosophy of expression that no
other book written by an American has presented.”—_Moses True
Brown_, Head of the Boston School of Oratory.
=The Writer= (with POST WHEELER, Litt.D.) 12mo =$1.00=
A Concise, Complete, and Practical Text-book of Rhetoric, designed to aid
in the Appreciation, as well as Production of All Forms of Literature,
Explaining, for the first time, the Principles of Written Discourse by
correlating them to those of Oral Discourse.
“A book of unusual merit ... prepared by practical teachers,
and the end in view is evidently to teach rather than to give
information.”—_The Pacific Educational Journal._
“The pupil will forget he is studying rhetoric, and will come
to express himself for the pure pleasure he has in this most
beautiful art.”—_Indiana School Journal._
=Ethics and Natural Law.= 8vo. Net, =$2.25.=
A Reconstructive Review of Moral Philosophy, Applied to the Rational Art
of Living,—a Book that is in effect a Continuation and Completion of
the Author’s well-known Æsthetic Works, showing the Relationship of the
Principles underlying Art to the Culture of Character.
“The student of ethics will considerably fortify his knowledge
of the history of ethical thought by reading the book,
especially the first twelve chapters. In these Mr. Raymond
embodies, with copious references, his extensive knowledge
of what has been written and thought by moral philosophers.
On pp. 63-67, for instance, will be found in footnotes a
kind of classified anthology of all the definitions given of
conscience by modern writers. The various ethical theories
holding the field do not, he thinks, recognize as indispensable
the coöperation, in every slightest detail of thought and
feeling, of the two necessary factors of every desire; and he
claims that his own doctrine keeps to the purpose he avows
in his opening chapter,—to draw no inference, and to advance
no theory, not warranted by known facts as ascertainable in
connection with the operations of natural law.... Chapters XIII
to XXIII deal acutely and comprehensively with the various
sides of American life.”—_London_ (England) _Times_.
