Excerpt from A Dissertation Upon Rhetoric
In ushering to the world this treatise of the learned Stagyrite, I shall confess the difficulties which I have encountered, and the anxiety which I still feel as to its reception. That it is the greatest of all that great master's productions, is an assertion which I do not singly hazard. The learned and laborious Franciscus Philelphus terms it "Rhetorica illustrissimi philosophorum Aristotelis utilissima;" and this epithet has been strongly borne out by the following testimony of the celebrated Boileau Despreaux, in his preface to a translation of Longinus upon the Sublime: "C'est un ouvrage d'une extreme utilite; & pour moi, j'avoue franchement que sa lecture m'a plus profité que tout ce qui j'ai jamais lû en ma vie."
