Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book of Public Speaking, Vol. 2 Style. - Style may be defined as proper words in proper places. Swift. A Pure Style. - A pure style in writing results from the rejection of everything superfluous. Mme. Necker. Suitableness in Style. - There is nothing in words and styles but suitableness that makes them acceptable and effective. Granville. Necessity of Style. - Style is the dress of thoughts; and let them be ever so just, if your style is homely, coarse, and vulgar, they will appear to as much disadvantage, and be as ill received as your person, though ever so well-proportioned, would be, if dressed in rags, dirt, and tatters. Chesterfield. Matter First. - Attention to style, to composition, and all the arts of speech, can only assist an orator in setting off to advantage the stock of materials which he possesses; but the stock, the materials themselves, must be brought from other quarters than from rhetoric.
