Excerpt from Rhetorical Method: A Concise Treatment of the Topics Belonging to Rhetoric and Composition, Prepared for Use in Schools and Academies
Rhetoric may be defined as the science of language forms, and the art of expression.
As a science, it treats of the principles that underlie discourse; as an art, it applies these principles to compo sitiou.
The consideration of the various sentence-forms is the first step necessary. In addition to this, we must find out, by trial, the kinds of discourse to which they are adapted: one form of sentence may be used in narration; another, in argumentation.
When words are the subject of inquiry, their particular meanings and their fitness for the positions in which they are to serve, must be attentively regarded.
