Every schoolboy knows that Demosthenes practised declamation\r\non the seashore, with his mouth full of pebbles.  This description of\r\nthe unlovely old Athenian with the compelling tongue is Plutarch's\r\ncontribution to the literature of self-help.\r\n\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 18597 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Dickinson, Asa Don \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jun 15, 2006 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEditor\u003c\/b\u003e: Dickinson, Asa Don, 1876-1960 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Dickinson, Asa Don,1876-1960 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43217548148893,"sku":"gb-18597-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/18597.jpg?v=1671437169","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/stories-of-achievement-volume-iii-orators-and-reformers-gb-18597","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
