System of Questions to Blair's Lectures on Rhetoric by Alfred Bixby is an early 19th-century educational treatise that introduces a catechetical method for teaching rhetoric, inspired by Blair's Lectures on Rhetoric. Authored by New York educator Alfred Bixby, this work emphasizes the importance of introducing rhetoric early in education, following subjects like arithmetic, grammar, geography, and history. Bixby critiques rote memorization as harmful to mental and physical health and proposes a program to publish questions to accompany elementary readers, extending Blair’s method to other classics and authors such as Paley, Tytler, and Stewart. Advocating for a practical, inquiry-based approach to knowledge, the text aims to enhance engagement in learning and promote educational reform. It includes a preface and a series of lecture questions that explore themes of taste, criticism, sublimity, beauty, language, and style, along with discussions on eloquence and effective instruction.
