Synopsis
A Practical System Of Rhetoric, Or The Principles And Rules Of Style, Inferred From Examples Of Writings by Samuel Phillips Newman. This 19th-century work is a comprehensive treatise on rhetoric and stylistic craft, presenting an inductive, example-based method for teaching writing and taste. It combines theory with practice, arguing that good writing rests on the foundations of knowledge, disciplined reasoning, cultivated imagination, and refined sensibility, all coordinated through sound verbal criticism and careful language use. The book surveys the aims of rhetoric, ornaments of style, and the formation of a good style, and moves through chapters on thought as the foundation of writing, the nature of taste, and the use of language, including sections on verbal criticism, sentence structure, transitions, and connectives. It also includes a Historical Dissertation On English Style, tracing English prose from medieval roots to modern times, and provides practical exercises to develop method, amplification, transitions, and overall eloquence.
