Oratory and Orators is a non-fiction book written by William Mathews, which explores the art of public speaking and the lives of some of the most famous orators in history. The book is divided into two parts: the first part discusses the principles of oratory, including the importance of voice, gesture, and style, as well as the role of the audience in effective communication. The second part of the book profiles some of the greatest orators of all time, including Demosthenes, Cicero, Patrick Henry, and Daniel Webster. Mathews examines their speeches and the impact they had on their audiences, as well as their personal lives and the historical context in which they lived. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in public speaking, communication, or history, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the minds and methods of some of the most influential speakers in human history.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1879 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
