About this book
Good talk is treated as something that can be learned in this 1912 guide by Mary Greer Conklin, subtitled What to Say and How to Say It. Her preface takes Castiglione's Book of the Courtier, first printed in Venice in 1528, as a model, and says she aims to point out the faults of speech to avoid and the graces to attain. She thanks two Harvard English teachers, Charles Townsend Copeland and Frank Wilson Cheney Hersey, and dedicates the book in memory of A. E. C.
