No: such an intellect, when employed on the drudgery of a wool-stapler, who had been high-bailiff of Stratford-upon-Avon, might have derived all that was necessary from a very few books; from Totell's 'Presidents, 1572; from Pulton's 'Statutes, 1578; and from the 'Lawier's Logike, 1588.
This rhetoric of Fraunce's, then, complements his Lawiers Logike of the same year, the latter dealing with the finding out and arrangement of arguments in a speech, and the former with style and delivery. Rhetoric is thus concerned only with stylistic artifice in verse as well as in prose.
Much of his law may have been acquired from three books easily accessible to him namely, Tottell's PRECEDENTS , Pulton's STATUTES , and Fraunce's LAWIER'S LOGIKE , works with which he certainly seems to have been familiar; but much of it could only have come from one who had an intimate acquaintance with legal proceedings. We quite agree with Mr.
In the anonymous, The Artes of Logike and Rhetorike , rhetoric is denned as "an arte of speaking finelie. It hath two parts, garnishing of speach, called Eloqution, and garnishing of the manner of utterance, called Pronunciation." Thus by definition rhetoric includes only style and delivery. Under garnishing of speech the author treats only the rhetorical figures.
It is an abuse; remove these thornie quiddities of Logike, whereby our life can no whit be amended, and betake our selves to the simple discourses of Philosophy; know how to chuse and fitly to make use of them: they are much more easie to be conceived than one of Bocace his tales. A childe comming from nurse is more capable of them, than he is to learne to read or write.
