Excerpt from A Course of Lectures on Oratory and Criticism

It may be thought by fome, that thefe lectures are much too jbort, and too concifely written, for the purpofe of public infiru�lion: but they fhould be apprized, that it was my cullom to write down only the outlines of what I delivered in the olafs that, for the benefit of my pupils, I ufed to attend them provided with mqre copious illuﬂrationr, and a greater variety of examples; and, befides, always fpent a confiderable part of the time appropriated to every lecture in examiningthem on the fubje�t of the pre ceding lecture, hearing their remarks or objections, and errplaining more dif'tin�'tly what they appeared not to have clearly underflood.
