A Plea For Spoken Language: An Essay Upon Comparative Elocution is a book written by James Edward Murdoch in 1883. The book is an essay that argues for the importance of spoken language, specifically in the realm of elocution. The author compares the elocutionary practices of different cultures and time periods, including ancient Greece and Rome, medieval Europe, and contemporary England and America. Murdoch argues that the decline of spoken language in modern society is a detriment to both personal and societal development, and that a renewed focus on elocution could lead to improved communication and understanding. The book is a thought-provoking examination of the role of spoken language in human society and the importance of effective communication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
