Synopsis

Excerpt from An Abridgment of Lectures on Rhetoric

That a knowledge of rhetoric forms a very material part of the education of a polite scholar, must be universally allowed. Any attempt, there fore, however imperfect, to make so useful an art more generally known, has claim to that praise which is the' reward of good intention. With this the editor will be suficiently satisfied; since being serviceable to others is the m'ost agreeable method of contented with ourselves.
