Présentation de l'éditeur
After devoting nearly thirty years of his life to the sacred cause of education, the author of this volume has been requested by many of his friends to arrange for publication the notes on Rhetoric and Poetry which he had gradually accumulated. These consisted partly of precepts carefully selected from the works of the best critics, ancient and modern, partly of choice models gathered from the works of the most distinguished writers, to which were added the results of his own observation and experience. He began his task by publishing, last year, The Art of Oratorical Composition, for the benefit of those who aim at success in public speaking. Encouraged by the readiness with which that treatise has already been adopted in many leading colleges, and urged by his superiors and others to undertake a work of still wider usefulness, he has now written this Practical Introduction to English Rhetoric as a general text-book on Composition for the use of Colleges and A cademies. He rests his claims to the patronage of such astitutions on the following points: I. The work is so comprehensive as to embrace all the precepts of Rhetoric usually explained to the pupils of academies.
