Faults first, graces after: Peabody's lectures on conversation catalog the habits that sink good talk, then the qualities that save it. An address, a lecture, and a word to the wise, bound together for anyone whose tongue outruns their tact. New England plain speaking about speaking. Short enough to finish before your next dinner party.
