The DEBATER’S treasury

By William Pittenger

There is no greater ability than the power of skillful and forcible debate, and no accomplishment more readily acquired if the person is properly directed.  In this little volume are directions for organizing and conducting debating societies and practical suggestions for all who desire to discuss questions in public.  There is also a list of over 200 questions for debate, with arguments both affirmative and negative.

Punctuation

By Paul Allardyce

Few persons can punctuate properly; to avoid mistakes, many do not punctuate at all.  A perusal of this book will remove all difficulties and make all points clear.  The rules are clearly stated and freely illustrated, thus furnishing a most useful volume.  The author is everywhere recognized as the leading authority upon the subject, and what he has to say is practical, concise, and comprehensive.

Oratory

By Henry Ward Beecher

It must be conceded that few men ever enjoyed a wider experience or achieved a higher reputation in the realm of public oratory than Mr. Beecher.  What he had to say on this subject was born of experience, and his own inimitable style was at once both statement and illustration of his theme.  This volume is a unique and masterly treatise on the fundamental principles of true oratory.
