Howard is a guidebook focused on the art of elocution, designed for use in colleges, schools, and for self-instruction, likely written in the late 19th century. The work outlines principles, rules, and exercises intended to help individuals become better readers and speakers, emphasizing that the manner of speaking is just as crucial as the content of the speech itself. At the start of the book, the author expresses her objective of providing a practical and straightforward resource for teachers and students of elocution. This introduction highlights the often-overlooked significance of elocution in effective communication and education, referencing historical perspectives on the value of spoken expression. The opening chapters also delve into the foundations of physical culture, breathing exercises, and articulation, all essential components of training one's voice for both quality and effectiveness in speech. Howard emphasizes the need for deliberate practice and attention to posture, breathing, and clear enunciation to cultivate a compelling speaking presence.
