Excerpt from Reading and Rhetoric There are already a great many readers on the market, and it hardly seems necessary to add to the abundance with one more effort. This reader is designed for a particular purpose which, it seems to me, is not satisfied by any other work presently available. Great numbers of students come to the United States each year to study everything from anthropology to zoology, and many of these students are handicapped in their pursuit of higher education by their deficiencies in English. More and more universities and colleges are beginning to recognize the need for more intensified English training and are attempting to meet it with special courses in English as a Second Language. Of course, textbooks have been prepared for such purposes. But it seems to me that many of the textbooks in this field suffer from one of two distinct disadvantages: either they are composed of materials which, because of their simplicity and condescension insult the often highly developed intelligence and mature sophistication of the international student; or they are composed of materials which, mistakenly, strive to give the international student a very contemporary view of American life, and which as a result present that student with selections containing cultural assumptions far beyond his grasp. This textbook attempts to do two things. First, it tries to avoid the sins of which I have accused other texts. Second, it tries to present its materials according to a rhetorical pattern, so that it may conveniently be synchronized with a writing and grammar course.

Rhetoric -- the theory of oral discourse -- affected and indeed pervaded all aspects of classical thought. Bearing the stamp of its impact were the Homeric hymns, the Iliad and the Odyssey, Aeschylus' Eumenides, the great dramatic tragedies, the elegiac and lyric poetry, and the literature of the Romans, often formed in the Greek image. The rhetorical notion of probability had direct implications for the classical philosopher and mathematician as it does today. Departments of speech, English, philosophy and classics provide the key centers of interest in the new and the classical rhetorics. Despite the considerable enthusiasm for the study of rhetoric, no single work provides large selections of primary materials written by the classical rhetoricians themselves. Until now, only secondary sources containing tiny excerpts, or entire and expensive translations of the ancient rhetorical writings were available. This large anthology of primary readings of the classical rhetoricians in translation fills this large gap. The continuity and coherence of ancient rhetorical traditions is emphasized by organizing large excerpts into the topical divisions that later classical writers agreed upon. The first unit of this anthology sets forth major issues in the definition and scope of rhetoric, and its appropriate place among other modes of thought and discourse. Parts 2 through 5 are organized according to the traditional canons of oratory -- invention, disposition, style, memory, and delivery. In organizing the readings this way, the editors represent both the philosophical and theoretical issues in rhetoric and its pragmatic functions as a craft for making effective discourse. Selecting excerpts that illustrate the major conflicts within the unfolding tradition enables a sampling of not only the major points of view, but also the arguments supporting them. This volume includes selections not only from writings of the standard classical rhetoricians but also from less typical works which have special value. The editors have utilized the best accessible translations while remaining absolutely faithful to their texts.

Excerpt from The Foundations of Rhetoric The Introduction sets forth as simply, clearly, and compactly as possible the leading facts of English grammar, including definitions of technical terms. The body of the book is in three Parts. Part I., which treats of Words, is divided into two books: in Book I., proper and improper expressions, arranged for convenience in classes that correspond to the several parts of speech, are set side by side; in Book II., questions of choice between words equally proper are considered. Part II., which treats of Sentences, is divided into two books: in Book I., good and bad sentences, arranged for convenience in chapters that correspond to the five important qualities of style, are set side by side; in Book II., questions of choice between sentences equally proper are considered. Part III. treats of Paragraphs. Believing that every one should be encouraged to do work for himself, I begin the discussion of every question with an example, - a practice which enables the student to discover for himself the rule under which the example falls. For young scholars this is the true order; for it is the order in which the mind naturally works. In experience, facts come before principles or rules: induction precedes deduction. Believing that attention should be drawn primarily to good English, I have, in every case in which proper and improper forms appear side by side, placed the proper form where it will first catch the eye. Within the prescribed limits, it is of course impracticable to enumerate all possible departures from propriety in the choice of words or in their arrangement.

Excerpt from The Rhetoric of Aristotle: A Translation The Treatise on Rhetoric is a magazine of intellectual riches. Nothing is left untouched, on which Rhetoric, in all its branches, has any hearing. T he author's principles are the result of extensioe original induction. He sought them, if ever man did sech them, in the living pattern of the human heart. All the recesses and windings of that hidden region he has explored: all its caprices and a ections.
