PHRASES FOR PUBLIC SPEAKERS
AND
PARAGRAPHS FOR STUDY
Compiled by Grenville Kleiser
1910
TO THE STUDENT
The experienced public speaker acquires through long practise hundreds
of phrases which he uses over and over again. These are essential to
readiness of speech, since they serve to hold his thought well together
and enable him to speak fluently even upon short notice.
This book is one of practise, not theory. The student should read aloud
daily several pages of these phrases, think just what each one means,
and whenever possible till out the phrase in his own words. A month's
earnest practise of this kind will yield astonishing results.
He should also study the paragraphs, reprinted here from notable
speeches, and closely observe the use made of climax and other effects.
The phrase and the paragraph are the principal elements in the public
speaker's English style, and the student will be amply repaid for any
time he devotes to their analysis.
