Excerpt from Pulpit and Platform: Being Notes on the Management of the Voice in Public Speaking, With Chapters on Reading and Speaking in Public, and Extemporary Preaching It is sometimes asserted that the in¿uence of the public speaker, or orator, if it is preferred to call him so, whether lay or ecclesiastical, has been much diminished by the general di¿usion of education, with the corresponding increase of reading matter and readers that has natur ally followed. The pen, it is alleged, is now much mightier than the voice. The Press is sup posed to have ousted the Pulpit, and to be about to make short work of the Platform. In conse quence the art of oratory, it is said, is no longer of much value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
