Lorenzo Sears: The History of Oratory from the Age of Pericles to the Present Time (Classic Reprint)
Description
Excerpt from The History of Oratory From the Age of Pericles to the Present Time F Oratory is what the ancients called it, The Art of Arts, it should have a history of its own, like the arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture, of music, poetry, and the drama. If, also, it is a science, as Aristotle and his successors have shown, its fundamental principles must have been derived from a series of experiments whose record becomes historical. Again, if there is a philosophy of public discourse, referring its laws to methods Of mental and moral action, such reference is the better established and confirmed the farther back Observation extends and the more complete the account becomes of such successes and failures as attend any continuous endeavor. Furthermore, if modern methods Of study are to be applied to the art, the science, or the philosophy of public address, something like a con nected narrative of its beginning and growth, its de cadences and revivals is requisite.

The History of Oratory from the Age of Pericles to the Present Time (Classic Reprint) free ebook In an alternate 1906, the United States and Japan have forged a powerful confederation- the Unified Pacific-in an attempt to dominate the world. Their first target is a vulnerable China. In San Francisco, headstrong secretary Ingrid Carmichael is assisting a group of powerful geomancer wardens who have no idea of the depth of her own talent-or that she is the only woman to possess such skills. When assassins kill the wardens, Ingrid and her mentor are protected by her incredible magic. But the pair is far from safe. Without its full force of guardian geomancers, the city is on the brink of a cataclysmic earthquake that will expose the earth's power to masterminds determined to control the energy for their own dark ends. The danger escalates when Chinese refugees, preparing to fight the encroaching American and Japanese forces, fracture the uneasy alliance between the Pacific allies, transforming San Francisco into a veritable powder keg.
