Excerpt from The Practical Elements of Rhetoric: With Illustrative Examples
A book on so old a subject as rhetoric can scarcely hope to give the world much that is new. But old things, in proportion to their living value, need from time to time to be newly defined and distributed, their perspective and emphasis need to be freshly determined, to suit changing conditions of thought; this we find abundantly recognized in the subject before us, in the rapidly increasing number of text-books that are appearing. To which number the present volume presumes to add one; and in setting forth its aim and standard would select for remark a single word of its title, the word practical.
