Synopsis
Excerpt from Rhetoric, or the Principles of Elocution and Rhetorical Composition
An attempt to reduce the principles of read ing to a theoretic system of any considerable extent, is,i am aware, regarded by many, as impracticable and useless. It is said, that the oral expression should in all cases be adapted to the sense, and that as the latter is, so the former should be infinitely various; and there fore not to be regulated by specific rules. It is true, the sentiments we may have occasion to read, are infinitely various; and it is impossible to define by any rules, that can be given, all the diversities, a perfect elocution may require. But the like may with equal truth be afi'irmed of music, and almost every art that can be named. The questions, to be solved by arithmetic, are infinitely various; but still there are many anal ogies among them, whereby they are rendered susceptible of rules, the utility of which it were folly to deny.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on the principles of elocution and rhetoric that serves as a guide for teachers and public speakers. Part of a literary tradition dating back to the Greeks, this book presents thoroughly researched theories on key components of elocution including quality of voice, articulation, and emphasis. The author draws on the work of notable rhetorical scholars like Aristotle and Cicero as well as his own experience to provide an accessible analysis of verbal and sentential emphasis. This book examines how an understanding of the diversity of human emotion enables the precise use of emphasis in creating effective discourse. It reveals the significance of inflections in expressing the full range of human feeling and the importance of pronunciation in projecting gravitas. This book will appeal to anyone interested in improving verbal and non-verbal communication and learning how to read and listen with greater discernment.
