with an interest in oration and is not to be missed by collectors of
Kleiser's influential work. Grenville Kleiser (1868-1953) was a North
American author best remembered for his many inspirational and
motivational books, especially those related to oration and self
development. He also worked as a Public Speaking teacher at Yale
Divinity School, Yale University. Many vintage books such as this are
becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that
we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern,
high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
