Excerpt from Garrick's Mode of Reading the Liturgy of the Church of England: A New Edition, With Notes, and a Preliminary Discourse on Public Reading

Authors; meaning, it being at that period assumed that the qualification alone required to constitute a good public reader, was the apprehension of the author. It was observed, however, that all au thors could not read with correctness even their own works, and they certainly could not be charged with a misapprehension of what they themselves had written; and the Clergy could not be charged with a misapprehension of the Common Prayer, and still less of their own ser mons, whence it became evident that something beyond this one qualification was required to constitute a good public reader. Now observa tion has discovered other qualifications, both Mental and Vocal, to be necessary, and has also indicated the special education and training which is required to produce good public readers. Although this is familiarly known to many who fully estimate the value of guiding princi ples in other occupations, yet, it is often thought that common sense is a sufficient guide in public reading. Now the term common sense, when thus placed in opposition to a system of princi ples and rules, if it mean anything, must mean.
