About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1889. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... PART THREE. THE ACQUIREMENT OF A LARGE VOCABULARY. We are now about to enter a most important field of labor. Its magnitude may at first appal the ordinary student: its value will at last reward him for his toil. We all know the meaning of many words which we are not in the habit of using; to form this habit is the task before us. A person who can readily and easily use one thousand different words may be said to be a fluent speaker. Could a stenographer report the conversation and remarks made by even well educated people, it would be surprising to know the result, to learn how few different words are used in a life time. Words stimulate thought. The more words we are familiar with in their exact meaning, the more thoughts we have, and the better we express them. We have arranged a very good vocabulary in this chapter divided into series with twenty-five words in each series. For each "twenty-five" there must be one extemporaneous speech which shall include all the words, woven into sentences containing good sense. This speech should be delivered before the same imaginary audience, the pupil standing gracefully all the while. THE 1st SERIES OF TWENTY-FIVE WORDS. The 12th Extemporaneous Speech. Aback; abaft; abandon; abase; abash; abate; abatable; abatement; abbreviate; abdicate; abdomer; abduce; abduction; aberration; abet; abetter; abeyance; abhor; abhorrent; abide; ability; abject; abjection; abjure; abjuration. 30 RULES AND DIRECTIONS. It is not necessary to use the words in the order given, although it is just as easy to do so. It is better to prolong the speech if ideas can be found in which to clothe them. It will soon be discovered that new thoughts, new fancies, and originality are the outgrowth of this method of practice. Where the meanings are not kn...
