Excerpt from Exercises in Rhetorical Reading: With a Series of Introductory Lessons, Particularly Designed to Familiarize Readers With the Pauses and Other Marks in General Use, and Lead Them to the Practice of Modulation and Inflection of the Voice Such being the plan of the work, the author has thought it inexpedient to encumber its pages with rules, definitions, or explanatory details because it has been fully proved that how simple soever a rule may be, the pupil will not readily apply it, unless particularly directed by the teacher and if nature and analogy will direct him to a correct and rhetorical modulation, rules and definitions become superfluous.
