Présentation de l'éditeur

Work was sketched out several years ago for the private use of some young friends; and from that MS. chiefly, the Article Rhetoric in the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana was afterwards drawn up. I was induced to believe that it might be more useful if published in a separate form ;and I accordingly, with the assistance of some friends, revised the treatise, and made a few additions and other alterations which suggested themselves ;besides dividing it in a manner more convenient for reference. The title of Rhetoric, I thought it best on the whole to retain, being that by which the Article in the Encyclopaedia is designated ;as I was unwi Uing to lay myself open to the suspicion of wishing to pass off as new, on the strength of a new name, what had been already before the Public. But the title is in some respects open to objection.
