Excerpt from Essentials of Public Speaking
Short evening courses in public speaking have become so popular that the problem Of supplementing the work in the class room with helpful text material has given instructors great difficulty. The average text book is too large and night students have not the time to carry out programs of selective reading.
The author has attempted to fill this need by setting forth in a brief, concise form only the essentials of the subject. He does not claim for the work any originality of analysis; his sole aim has been to include in one small volume a brief but comprehensive outline of the fundamentals of effective speaking in as logical an order as the subject permits.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a concise introduction to the fundamental principles of public speaking, guiding users toward effective, purposeful communication. Beginning with a practical framework for understanding how the audience impacts the message, the author stresses grounding in the laws of psychology governing all minds. Central to public speaking is an ability to convey ideas and emotions through language, which this book teaches through discussions of concrete versus abstract language, and inductive versus deductive reasoning. Appeals to emotion are discussed through the lens of impressiveness and impact. Arguments are centered around the purpose of belief and the effects of repetition and suggestion. Finally, the author discusses calls to action, connecting them to the seven classes of human desire, and how these can be addressed to generate a response. Above all, this book teaches a skill that is as beneficial in personal as it is professional life.
