Excerpt from The Province of Expression: A Search for Principles; Underlying Adequate Methods of Developing Dramatic and Oratoric Delivery Many of the principles can only be seen in their complete ness after a more definite discussion of each particular phase of the problem, so that many of the points discussed would be far clearer and more in place at the close of a complete unfold ment of the methods for the development of each specific phase of expression. For example, among the most funda mental ideas of the work is the necessity of specific study of mental action in relation to expression, or the co - ordination of the conscious and the unconscious; but these can only be fully realized after a discussion of vocal expression. Again, the proof that expression can only be improved by training can only be seen after a thorough discussion of the principles in accordance with which the voice and body can be developed so as to become more plastic and more adequate agents in every respect for the manifestation of the mind. And yet, as this work is the introduction to a series of works which are meant to unfold the fundamental principles of more natural and adequate methods for the development of all forms of delivery, it has been thought best to endeavor to give a comprehensive general conception of the whole field, that each specific part may be made clearer and more definite, and not be misconceived from lack of a true idea of the whole, or the relation of the parts to each other. It may make the matter clearer to outline the whole under taking. This, possibly, ought to be concealed, as it may seem too great for any hard-working teacher to accomplish. But if this is so, it is still well, possibly, to record the intention, that the place which this work is meant to fill in relation to the whole may be seen by the reader. The materials for all the other works are being gathered in exactly the same way as they have been gathered for this, and in fact, some of the others could have been produced more adequately than the present work, because they are more intimately connected with the practical work of teaching.
