The Grammar of Elocution, written by John Millard in 1882, is a comprehensive guide to the principles of effective public speaking. The book is divided into three sections, each covering a different aspect of elocution. The first section focuses on the mechanics of speech, including the proper use of the voice, breath control, and articulation. The second section covers the principles of rhetoric, such as the use of figures of speech and the importance of tone and emphasis. The final section deals with the practical aspects of public speaking, including the preparation and delivery of speeches, the use of gestures, and the importance of audience engagement. Throughout the book, Millard provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers improve their elocution skills.
