Excerpt from An Abridgment of Lectures on Rhetoric
A proper acquaintance with the circle of Liberal Arts is requifl'e to the lindy of Rheto. Rick and Belles Letters. To extend the knowl edge of them mutt be the firit care of thofe, who with either to write With reputation, or to to exprefs themfelves in publick, as to command attention. Among the ancients it was an ell fential principle, that the orator ought to be converfa'nt in every department of learning. No art indeed can be contrived which can ftamp merit on a compofition, rich or fplendid in ex preflion, but barren or erroneous in fentiment. Oratory, it is true, has often been difgraced by attempts to eftablilh a falfc criterion of its value. 'writers have endeavoured to fupply want of matter by graces of compofition and courted the temporary applaufe of the ignorant, infiead of the latting approbation of the difcernin g. But fuch impotture mutt be flloi't and tranfitory. The body and fubfiance of any valuable compo lition mutt be formed of knowledge and fcience. Rhetorick completes the firuéture, and adds the poliih but firm and folid bodies only are able to receive it.
