Elements Of Rhetoric: Designed As A Manual Of Instruction by Henry Coppée presents a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of rhetoric. The volume traces rhetoric from its Greek origins through its Roman development and its adaptation to modern education, arguing that rhetoric is allied to logic and grammar and should be taught as the art of building discourse. Coppée divides rhetoric into three functions—Invention, Arrangement, and Style—and explains how these interact in both written and spoken discourse. The work surveys the relations of rhetoric to aesthetics, the various genres of discourse (poetry, prose, oratory, didactic, narrative), and Aristotle's canonical divisions of argument. It then treats the processes of invention, the organization of argument, and the clothing of thought in effective language, followed by chapters on persuasion, the three unities in composition, and the psychology of taste, beauty, and elegance. The book is intended as an elementary guide to form skilled, clear, and compelling discourse.
