The History of Oratory From the Age of Pericles to the Present Time (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The History of Oratory From the Age of Pericles to the Present Time
F Oratory is what the ancients called it, The Art of Arts, it should have a history of its own, like the arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture, of music, poetry, and the drama. If, also, it is a science, as Aristotle and his successors have shown, its fundamental principles must have been derived from a series of experiments whose record becomes historical. Again, if there is a philosophy of public discourse, referring its laws to methods Of mental and moral action, such reference is the better established and confirmed the farther back Observation extends and the more complete the account becomes of such successes and failures as attend any continuous endeavor. Furthermore, if modern methods Of study are to be applied to the art, the science, or the philosophy of public address, something like a con nected narrative of its beginning and growth, its de cadences and revivals is requisite.
