Excerpt from A Class Book on Rhetoric: Wherein Are Exhibited the Graces and Style of English Composition and Public Oratory In presenting this work on Rhetoric to the people of Canada, I do not feel it necessary to apologize in view of a doubts existing in the mind of any enlightened person with regard to the usefulness and importance of such a publication. The present edition I have reason to hope will be unencumbered with typographical errors, while as the reader will perceive, very useful and interesting matter is added to the former one: sections and sentences supposed to be unnecessary in this work have been lopped off, and upon the whole the author is pleased in indulging a hope that it will meet the wants of the country, and the kind approbation of his present patrons and numerous friends. As many are aware the grand object of the work is to give necessary instructions to all who desire them on the rules and exercises of English composition and public speaking, and as we live in an age of improvement all must be convinced of the importance of lessons of instruction being published on this subject. This department of knowledge has too long been neglected in this Province, and it is a matter of deep regret that instructions upon the art have hitherto been limited to our colleges and higher institutions of learning, and yet no study is more intimately connected with public life, public manners and refinement, than the most valuable and interesting study of Rhetoric. It is true there are a few Rhetorics to be obtained in different sections of the Province, but they are so few in number and so rarely found as to most imperiously demand the present publication.
