Outlines Of A Systematic Rhetoric by Franz Theremin describes a comprehensive, ethically grounded theory of eloquence. Theremin argues that Eloquence is a Virtue, an ethical, outward-directed form of rhetoric rooted in character, truth, and the will. The work is organized into two principal parts: Book I On Invention, which develops the idea that an oration arises from germinal Ideas and must take a simple, unified form; and Book II On Elocution, which treats Affection, passion, and the means of exciting feeling through Adaptation, Progress, and Vivacity. The translator’s introductory essay situates Theremin’s system within classical and modern debates, praising its claim that rhetoric should advance virtue and public good rather than mere ornament. The book also discusses Truth, Possibility, and Actuality as subordinate categories guiding rhetorical reasoning; the relation of sacred to civil Eloquence; and the plan and division of an oration. The revised edition includes explanatory notes and study questions to generalize the contents for students.
