Excerpt from A System of Elocution: With Special Reference to Gesture, to the Treatment of Stammering, and Defective Articulation The part on gesture is extracted, principally, from Austin's Chironomia, a work which is extremely rare, and one whose great size and expense are insuperable obstacles to its general introduction.
