Excerpt from The Principles of Rhetoric and Their Application

For the purposes of this treatise, Rhetoric may be defined as the art of efficient communication by lan guage. It is not one of several arts out of which a choice may be made; it. Is the art to'the principles of which, consciously or unconsciously, a good writer or speaker must conform. It is an art, not a science: for it neither observes, nor discovers, nor classifies; but it shows how to con vey from one mind to another the results, of observation, discovery, or classification; it uses knowledge, not as knowledge, but as power.
