1892. With annotations, hints upon gesture and dramatic poses by Frances E. Peirce. In preparing this work for the public it has been our aim to choose the very best, and every selection has been made with a special view to elocutionary merits. The Speaker's Ideal is composed of carefully selected pieces from the writings of well known authors, and as a source of supply to the giver of dramatic entertainments, from which they may obtain at once a suitable subject for declamation, recital, dialogue and drama, this volume is without a peer.
