This little book is the fruit of study, reflection and teachings continued through twenty years. It would be hazardous for any one to claim originality in a department of literature which contains so many great works as sacred rhetoric. The most effectual disavowal of such pretensions will be to recite the titles of the books which I have read with most advantage, and which have contributed to my knowledge or opinions on this subject. If my readers are familiar with these treatises, they will probably find in them either the germs or the full forms of nearly all the ideas which I advance. The following treatises I have found exceedingly instructive:

Aristotle's Rhetoric.
Cicero, De Oratore.
Horace, Epistle to the Pisos.
Quinctilian, De Institutione Oratoria.
Campbell's Philosophy of Rhetoric.
Whateley's Rhetoric.
Vinet's Homiletics.
