RECOMMENDATIONS.
My dear Sir,—My wife was dangerously unwell for over sixteen
years. She was so weak that she could not lift a teaspoon to her mouth.
But in a fortunate moment she commenced reading one of your lectures.
She got better at once. She gained strength so rapidly that she lifted the
cottage piano quite a distance from the floor, and then tipped it over on
to her mother-in-law, with whom she had had some little trouble. We
like your lectures very much. Please send me a barrel of them. If you
should require any more recommendations, you can get any number of
them in this place, at two shillings each, the price I charge for this one,
and I trust you may be ever happy.
Yours truly, and so is my wife,
An American correspondent of a distinguished journal in Yorkshire
thus speaks of Mr. Ward's power as an Orator:—
“It was a grand scene, Mr. Artemus Ward standing on the platform,
talking; many of the audience sleeping tranquilly in their seats; others,
leaving the room and not returning; others crying like a child at some of
the jokes—all, all formed a most impressive scene, and showed the powers
of this remarkable orator. And when he announced that he should never
lecture in that town again, the applause was absolutely deafening.”
