Excerpt from The Art of Reading, or Rules for the Attainment of a Just and Correct Enunciation of Written Language

The first object of every one who reads to others, is to be perfectly heard by those whom he addresses. For this purpose, three things are especially necessary. First, a preper loudness of the voice. This must be proportioned to the space which is to'be filled, and the number of persons present. Second, a due degree of slowness. Third, perfect distinctness of articulation. An attention to these three circumstances is the founo dation of all good reading.
