ELOCUTION

BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

SHAKESPEARE FOR RECITATION.

135 SELECTIONS FROM THE PLAYS, ARRANGED FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS.

Edited by his daughter, EVELYN MILLARD, with an Introduction by the Rev. E. A. ABBOTT, D.D.

Crown 8vo. price 28.

"Mr. Millard has distinct skill in the choice of passages for recitation. The selection is undoubtedly a good one.'-JOURNAL OF EDUCATION.

'The compiler appears to have performed his task with care and discretion, and the volume may be found of considerable practical use to teachers of elocution and recitation.'-ERA.

"This little volume, being at once varied and comprehensive, and compiled with taste and literary skill, supplies a distinct want in class instruction.'-BRISTOL TIMES.

'The selections were made by the late Mr. Millard, of the City of London School, and his daughter has "edited" them. It would be difficult to spoil any such undertaking, but this work is most excellent.' MANCHESTER EXAMINER.

'Many of the selections were chosen because Mr. Millard's pupils actually recited them on annual prize-days and similar occasions. Masters on the lookout for suitable passages for repetition will find the selection very useful.'-LITERARY WORLD.

'It was through Dod's "Beauties of Shakespeare "that Goethe first became acquainted with him, and Goethe's words are as pertinent to Mr. Millard's volume as to its predecessor: "Whatever may be said against collections which give authors in a fragmentary form, they nevertheless produce many good effects. . . .

'I have never known that GENIUS in any art has ever been crampt
by RULES. On the contrary, I have seen great geniuses miserably err
by transgressing them, and, like vigorous travellers, who lose their way,
only wander the wider on account of their own strength'
