Excerpt from Lectures: Read to the Seniors in Harvard CollegeI have not attempted a systematic view of rhetoric, either in compliance with the statutes of the professor ship, or according to any idea of my own. So obvious will this be, that the lectures may Often be more justly regarded as essays upon subjects suggested by rhetoric than as orderly treatises upon its proper topics. As I have taken but a part of the course for publication, and, for convenience, have sometimes divided a lecture according to the prominent topics, the separate articles will probably appear still more independent of each other and even of the art which they ought ever to have kept in sight.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
