Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Overton Reciter: Character Sketches for Recitation Mong the platform successes of the past few years must be classed the clever sketches of life and character written by Mr. Robert Overton. Full of genuine hu'mour, unaffected pathos, and natural dramatic force, they combine all the elements of platform success, and it is not remarkable that when suitably rendered they should awaken sympathy and call forth applause. The Editor recalls with pleasure and satisfaction the fact that several of these stories were originally written for him, and that some of the earlier of Mr. Overton' s sketches found publication under his hands under such circumstances, he has had peculiar pleasure in making a selection from Mr. Overton' 5 pieces, and issuing them in a collected form.
