"Impromptu Speeches - How to Make Them" is a 1920 guide to public speaking by Grenville Kleiser. Self-help books aim to help the reader with problems, offering them clear and effective guidance on how obstacles can be passed and solutions found, especially with regard to common issues and day-to-day life. Such books take their name from the 1859 best-selling "Self-Help" by Samuel Smiles, and are often also referred to as "self-improvement" books. This particular volume aims to help the reader with speech-making, especially speaking publicly with no previous preparation. Contents include: "The Occasional Speech", "Forensic Speaking", "Argumentative Speaking", and "The Golden Art of Truth-telling". Grenville Kleiser (1868-1953) was a North American author best remembered for his many inspirational and motivational books, especially those related to oration and self development. He also worked as a Public Speaking teacher at Yale Divinity School, Yale University. Other notable works by this author include: "How to Speak in Public" (1906), "Humorous Hits and How to Hold an Audience" (1908), and "Stories that Take" (1910).
