Synopsis

The First Part of the Eighth Liberal Science is a book written by Ulpian Fulwell and published in 1579. The book is a treatise on rhetoric and the art of persuasion, which was considered one of the most important skills for a gentleman of the time. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which deals with the principles of rhetoric and the second with the application of those principles to specific situations. Fulwell begins by discussing the importance of rhetoric and its relationship to other liberal arts such as grammar, logic, and ethics. He then goes on to describe the various types of arguments and the ways in which they can be used to persuade an audience. He also discusses the importance of style and delivery in effective persuasion, and provides examples of successful speeches from history.In the second part of the book, Fulwell provides practical advice on how to apply the principles of rhetoric to specific situations, such as court cases, debates, and public speeches. He also discusses the importance of understanding one's audience and tailoring one's message to their interests and beliefs.Overall, The First Part of the Eighth Liberal Science is a comprehensive guide to the art of persuasion, written for the educated gentleman of the late 16th century. While some of the specific examples and references may be dated, the principles of rhetoric and persuasion discussed in the book remain relevant to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
