Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Samuel Foote, Esq., Vol. 2 of 4: To Which Is Prefixed a Life of the Author; Containing the Orators, the Minor, the Lyar, and the Patron
With regard to the profelfors of the Rage, tho reading is undoubtedly ufeful, yet, as the performer is to repeat, and not to read, the deficiency may be fupplied by the intro duction of a third agent, Viz. A perfon to read to him till the words are rooted in his memory. This expedient, tho' tedious, I have known frequently praé'cifed with good fuccefs: little blunders will now and then unavoidably arife, either from the mifappre hennon of the fecond agent, or the ignorance or waggery of the third; but thefe {lips are generally unobferved, or, thro' inattention or indulgence, overlooked by an audience. But to return to the confideration of my own plan, from which no temptation thall, for the future feduce me to digrefs.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book gives a historical analysis of oratorical techniques and their application in different fields from England's 18th century. The author aims to demonstrate how the oratory of the period was unique and different from classical oratory as understood through the works of Greek and Roman philosophers. It examines the impact of social and political factors on oratory in law, politics, the church and the stage, providing context in the development of oratory as an art from its roots to its modern form. The book also explores how oratory was used as a tool for social and political change, highlighting the importance of language and rhetoric in shaping public opinion and advancing ideas. Ultimately, the author argues that 18th century English oratory was a transformative force in society, helping to shape the course of history.
