Campbell provides examples of how rhetoric can be used in various contexts, such as politics, law, and religion. He also discusses the ethical considerations that should guide the use of rhetoric.Overall, The Philosophy of Rhetoric is a comprehensive and influential work that has had a lasting impact on the study of rhetoric.

This volume is comprised of a series of essays whose purpose on one hand is to exhibit a tolerable sketch of the human mind; and, aided by the lights which the poet and orator so amply furnish, to disclose its secret movements, tracing its principal channels of perception and action, as near as possible, to their source: and, on the other hand, from the science of human nature, to ascertain, with greater precision, the radical principles of that art, whose object it is, by the use of language, to operate on the soul of the hearer, in the way of informing, convincing, pleasing, moving, or persuading. The Contents are divided into the following three Books: The Nature and Foundations of Eloquence; The Foundations and Essential Properties of Elocution; and The Discriminating Properties of Elocution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
