Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres Indeed, when the arts of speech and writing an mentioned, I am sen sible that prejudices against them are apt to rise in the minds of many. A sort of art is immediately thought of, that is ostentatious and deceitful the minute and trifling study of words alone; the pomp of expression the studied fallacies of rhetoric; ornament substituted in the room of use. We need not wonder, that, under such imputations, all study of discourse as an art, should have sufl'ered in the opinion of men of understanding and I am far from denying, that rhetoric and criticism have sometimes been so managed as to tend to the corruption, rather than to the improve ment of good tase and true eloquence. But sure it is equally possible to apply the principles of reason and good sense to this art, as to any other that is cultivated among men. If the following Lectures have any merit, it will consist in an endeavour to substitute the application of these prin ciples in the place of artificial and scholastic rhetoric; in an endeavour to explode false ornament, to direct attention more towards substance than show, to recommend good sense as the foundation of all good com position, and simplicity as essential to all true ornament.
