THE 
ENGLISH ELOCUTIONIST 
A COLLECTION .OF THE FINEST PASSAGES 
OF 
ESPECIALLY FITTED FOR RECITATION AND READING ALOUD ; 
WITH THE 
PRONUNCIATION OF PROPER NAMES. 
For the Use of Students of Elocution, the Higher Classes in 
Schools, and Public Reading. 
By CHARLES HARTLEY. 
Professor of Elocution and Oratory ; 
Author of “Elocution Made Easy“Oratory Made Easy,” etc. 
Of the many “Speakers” and “Readers” published, nearly all 
contain a large proportion of passages more fitted for silent reading 
than for reading aloud and for recitation ; and which have been 
apparently chosen rather for their beauty than for their fitness for 
elocutionary practice. In this Work, the Editor has sought to 
select passages combining the highest poetry and eloquence with 
peculiar fitness for expressive reading aloud and recitation ; and 
trusts that he has thus supplied a want that teachers and students 
of elocution and masters of schools have long felt. 
“ This is a really useful collection of pieces for recitation. Of course many 
old favourites are to be met with in its pages ; but mixed with them will be 
found an unusually large number of copyright poems, rarely to be obtained 
except in the volumes in which they originally appeared.”— City Press. 
“ The selection of pieces for recitation has been judiciously made. The book 
is well arranged, and will doubtless be useful.”— Graphic. 
“ We commend this as an excellent abstract of a library, which the reader 
may carry in his pocket. In advanced elementary schools it might serve the 
purpose of a reading book in the upper classes.” - School Board Chronicle. 
“A judiciously compiled work. . . . The value of the book is increased by 
appended explanatory notes and instructions for the pronunciation of proper 
names.”— Liverpool Albion.
