Excerpt from Outlines Art of Expression

Corresponding to the Art of Expression, - which em bodies precepts for attaining to excellence in writing and speaking, and contemplates such assiduous practice as will make excellence easy and habitual, there is, of course, a Science of Expression, which gives us, in an abstract form, the principles that underlie these precepts.

It is with the art, rather than the science, that we are at present concerned. Our principal object is, to promote greater facility in accurate and effective -composition. Hence the instruction imparted will be practical rather than theoretical, and immediate application will be made of every rule and every caution that may be suggested. It would be equally impossible and undesirable, however, to confine our attention wholly to Rhetorical precepts. Sometimes, to determine the precept, it will be necessary to investigate its underlying principle; and thus, While our main purpose is entirely practical, we shall, inciden tally, gain some familiarity with the canons of Rhetorical criticism, and, also, lay the foundation for subsequent studies in the departments of Logic and Early English.
