Philadelphia: s.n., 1847. Pamphlet. Very Good. 16 p.; 22 cm. Disbound from a volume of unrelated 19th-century pamphlets. "22" in ink at upper right-hand corner of first page. Caption title. At head of title: "Supreme Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania. July 1847, No. 40." William M.

Elihu Duplessis Tarr (d. 1851) and John Meredith Read (1797-1874) represented Samuel Tucker Bodine (1810-1879) and the commissioners and residents of Kensington, offering the history of the property back to the orignal 1689 grant to Michael Neilson and through its ownership by William Masters and his descendants to show that both the street and the wharf had been public property. Very scarce. In Very Good Condition: disbound; light foxing, primarily on first…

Wiley's elocution and oratory: Giving a thorough treatise on the art of reading and speaking by Charles Albert Wiley.
The new editions of this historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. It is always better to have copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1870 Second Edition.
The primary object in the preparation of this work, was to arrange in a single volume, the principles of VOCAL CULTURE, and STYLE of DELIVERY now used by the best elocutionist of the day:and, at the same time, to present a work for reading and for practice, that would contain the choicest gems of both ancient and modern literature.......So completely in keeping with the advancing spirit of the art of Elocution will the rules and exercises in this volume be found, that no student who thoroughly conquers them can fail to become a master of Elocution.
Charles A. Willey
