Synopsis
The Art Of Discourse: A System Of Rhetoric Adapted For Use In Colleges And Academies by Henry Noble Day. The work presents a comprehensive system of rhetoric adapted for college and academy use, drawn from the author’s earlier Elements of the Art of Rhetoric (1850). It organizes rhetoric into four general divisions—Invention, Style, Explanation, Confirmation, Excitation, and Persuasion—and a second division on Style with its Absolute, Relative, and Objective properties. The preface explains that the text is a reconstruction aimed at connecting rhetoric to logic, aesthetics, ethics, and grammar, and at developing practical thinkers and writers through staged study and exercises. The contents cover the nature and relations of rhetoric, the departments of invention and style, the processes of explanation and proof, and the various forms of persuasive discourse, including introductions, perorations, and the use of topics. The work emphasizes unity of thought, deliberate practice, and the integration of ethical aims within discourse, accompanied by exercises and model analyses to cultivate skill in writing and speaking.
