Excerpt from The Principles of Written Discourse
It has been specially prepared for use in our higher collegiate classes and assumes a familiarity, on the stu dent's part, with some elementary manual, as - Hart, Haven, Jameson or Kellogg. We believe that it will thus meet an urgent need in our more advanced rhetori cal teaching and give to the student a healthful stimulus in this most important branch of liberal culture. We present a discussion of the subject that is substantially complete, while the various principles are sufficiently illus trated to confirm their correctness and guide the student.
We desire, moreover, to state that while the treatise is so systematized and presented as to answer the purposes of class-room instruction, we have been anxious to make it a readable book for literary students at large. This is especially true of Part II. - a division of the work to which we would invite special attention. We have aimed to place Discourse upon a basis from which it cannot be permanently moved and so to co-ordinate it with all our mental processes and activities that it shall rise at once from a mechanical artifice of the schools to an essential Science and a practical Art and be seen to be instinct with intellectual and moral life. If students of Discourse are in any wise helped by it to higher views and better work in the special department with which it deals, we shall have realized our fondest h0pes. T. W. H.
