It will conquer you.'1' If you like biographies of famous people, here is a feast for you! It could be placed under "Humor" or "Anecdotes" or "Wit" or "Biography", but it should be under "Philosophy" — with the books that have contributed to the profound thinking of the troubled generations.'2' This book is stimulating; its vast spiritual horizon actually embraces all the problems of our day13' and its illuminating comments are profoundly revealing.' 4 1 There is a grand gallery of personality sketches of the famous, and an endless array of anecdotes,' 5 1 — brilliant interpretation that is exemplified over and over again."1' This unique, perfectly delightful and thoroughly entertaining volume'7' tells you how to sway audiences and keep people awake after dinner.'8' Every public speaker, every aspirant to the platform, and even the curious reader will read it with profit."" It is filled with entertaining, exciting material that you can use to practical advantage'1"1 — and to the general public its fund of reminiscences and anecdote will make it first class entertainment.'11' LOUIS NIZER can say what he thinks with a brilliance that is breathtaking.'12' A keen observer of human nature who never hurls the harpoon,'13' he is one of America's distinguished legal scholars and also one of America's distinguished toastmasters.'14' Next to Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mr. Nizer is probably possessed of the most magnetic speaking charm extant.'15' His culture and his incomparable erudition create the most incredible approaches, allusions and epigrams which illuminate his pages. This is a great book!'10' Truly an adventure into the realms of public speaking.'17' Recommended by Book-ol-the-Month Club Note: Send to-day for an AUTOGRAPHED copy of "THINKING ON YOUR FEET."
