Synopsis
Manual Of English Rhetoric by Andrew Dousa Hepburn offers a systematic guide to composing prose and teaching its principles. It argues that rhetoric is the science of the laws and forms of prose, differentiating prose from poetry and outlining its aims: to explain, convince, or persuade. The book is organized into four parts: Part I covers the processes surrounding the matter of discourse—defining the subject, invention, disposition, and amplification; Part II treats Style—the choice of words, figures of speech, sentences, and paragraph structure; Part III details the elementary forms of discourse: Description, Narration, Exposition, and Argument; Part IV surveys the principal forms of prose: dialogue, epistolary prose, didactic, historical, and oratorical prose. Emphasizing unity, perspicuity, and vivacity, it also presents practical exercises like paraphrase, abstracts, and translation. This volume serves as a thorough, teacher-friendly reference for high schools and colleges, highlighting historical influences and a focus on practical usage.
