Excerpt from Quinctilian's Institutes of Eloquence, or the Art of Speaking in Public, in Every Character and Capacity, Vol. 2 of 2: Translated Into English, After the Best Latin Editions, With Notes Critical and ExplanatoryI presume, that I have said enough concerning invention, for I have not only laid down-the princi ples upon which the judgment is formed, but those by which the passions are moved. But as it is not enough for one who undertakes a building to bring together his stones, his materials, and every thing that is proper for carrying it on, unless the whole is disposed of and conducted by the skill of an able architect, so, in the study of eloquence, it is not enough that a large mass of materials be piled and heaped up together, unless disposition shall reduce them into order, and connect them into strong, but graceful, uniformity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
