Fobes is an instructional guide on the art of elocution written in the late 19th century. This manual is designed to provide practical techniques for improving reading and speaking skills, catering to those interested in oratory, public speaking, and overcoming speech defects. Fobes emphasizes the importance of both physical and vocal exercises to cultivate effective speech, aiming to make the art of elocution accessible to a wide audience. The opening of the book begins with a preface that establishes the necessity of elocution, arguing that there is a lack of accessible resources addressing this skill. Fobes outlines the structure of the manual, which includes sections on physical and vocal gymnastics as foundational elements for effective speech. The introduction highlights the value of good reading as an elegant accomplishment, essential for various professions including clergy, teachers, and public speakers. Fobes aims to equip readers with techniques that promote clarity, expression, and confidence in communicating thoughts and feelings, making a compelling case for the importance of mastering elocution.
