The roll of those who have written on the principles of public speaking includes the names of many of the most prominent men in history: Plato and Aristotle, the greatest philosophers and teachers of ancient Greece; Cicero, one of the two foremost public speakers of the ancient world; Quintilian, the Roman teacher, whose treatise on the educa tion of the public speaker (institutes of Oratory) is one of the basic educational works of all time; Tacitus, the Roman historian; St. Augustine, one of the most distinguished fathers of the Church; Erasmus, the great Renaissance scholar; Thomas Hobbes and Francis Bacon, two of the most distinguished of English philosophers; Fenelon, the eminent French bishop; and john Quincy Adams, the great American scholar, teacher, and President.

Excerpt from Oral Communication: A Short Course in Speaking
With this shorter book we offer to those whose circumstances demand it a primarily preceptual treatment of the principles and methods required in a brief first course in public speaking. It has been our purpose to get the essentials into reasonably small compass while avoiding the expository inadequacies of the handbook or manual.
We retain, therefore, the fullness in the treatment of the elementary topics which is characteristic of a longer book, at the same time that we omit most of the theoretical background of rhetoric and the psychology of communciation. We have handled at length the essentials of finding the subject, finding material, securing clarity, organization and outlining, interest, and delivery. Persuasion we have treated briefly, as belonging to a more advanced course or a longer course than this book is intended for. Even the beginning student, however, will find practical use for some precepts for influencing the action and opinion of his hearers. We have included, therefore, a brief sketch of methods of persuasion and some special advice on outlining the persuasive speech. A full discussion of persuasion will be found in our Fundamentals of Public Speaking.
For those teachers who wish to have material for a substantial study of voice and diction in the basic course, we have included Chapter 8, on utterance. Chapter 13, on speeches for special occasions, will be most immediately useful, perhaps, to students who wish some extra preparation for the various occasions on which they may be requested to perform some formal speaking functions.
In our plan of presentation we have followed progressively, we think, the needs of the beginning student. In most college courses in public speaking the student is asked to make speeches almost from the outset, before he has had time or opportunity to go far in a textbook.
