ern Eloquence."

lar demand from book lovers and others throughout
the country."

great value and excellence of your work."

books so perfectly satisfactory as is Modern Elo-
quence. It is a library almost in itself, and I con-
gratulate you on the production."

Eloquence offers inspiration and suggestion for the preparation of a speech on almost any subject. But it is a work you may go to at any time for information, for entertainment and for inspiration. You can find something for every mood and for every occasion-history, politics, business and fun. They are all here in great profusion.

A Liberal Education

This is not a set of books which you must read in the sense of studying hours at a time. Continuity of reading is not required. While the speeches are all complete-no excerpts-you can read any one in thirty minutes or less. And in that time you will acquire more helpful information and ideas than you can obtain in several hours' reading of almost any other literature. In Modern Eloquence you get the crystallized thought of great minds so stated as to be instantly understood.

Here you will find After-Dinner Speeches that abound in wit, wisdom and eloquence-speeches filled with anecdote and repartee, but which point to a moral or establish a principle in very few words-Addresses of eminent men before bar associations, medical societies, fraternal organizations and other important occasionsMasterpieces thru which you can trace the course of modern history from the American Revolution to the present time including the Great World War;;-more than five hundred of the best anecdotes told by the best story tellers;-men like Irvin Cobb, George Ade, Chauncey Depew are here represented by their best stories; and an index that makes every subject instantly available.

Thruout the volumes there is a series of articles on how to plan, how to prepare and how to deliver a speech by such eminent authorities as Joseph French Johnson, Harry Morgan Ayres, Albert J. Beveridge and others.

By J. ELLIS BARKER Francis Carter Wood, Director of the Inst. of Cancer Research, Columbia University, writes:
