Inhaltsangabe

Master the art of thinking and expressing yourself with a practical rhetoric course that guides you from idea to polished prose.

This is a two-book course designed for use in high schools, academies, and the lower classes of colleges. It pairs clear explanations of rhetoric with extensive practice, so students learn by doing. The material centers on three main areas—Invention, the Qualities of Style, and Productions—to help students not only understand theory but apply it in writing and speaking.

- Discover how to find the thought at the heart of a topic and turn it into strong sentences and paragraphs.
- Build fluency in six cardinal style qualities—perspicuity, imagery, energy, wit, pathos, and elegance—and study them through model extracts.
- Practice a wide range of productions, including conversations, debates, orations, and letters, both in oral and written form.
- Develop the habit of daily pen-and-thinkwork that turns theory into ready-to-use skills.

Ideal for readers who want a practical, hands-on approach to rhetoric that moves beyond theory to real writing and speaking proficiency.
