Sinopsis

Excerpt from Rhetorical Studies in the Arbitration Scene of Menander's Epitrepontes: A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of Princeton University in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

In order, however, that the discussion of the two speeches may not be overburdened with explanations of rhetorical principles and precepts, and that these principles and pre cepts may be fresh in the mind of the reader as he ap proaches the consideration of the Arbitration Scene, I have thought best to preface the discussion of this scene by a statement of the more general and fundamental principles as expounded by Aristotle, who is supreme in the more theo retical and philosophical aspects, of the subject, with but passing reference here to Quintilian. An extensive use of Quintilian has been made, however, in the discussion Of the speeches themselves, in treating the details and practical considerations, in which matters Quintilian in his turn excelled.
