Excerpt from The Rhetoric of Aristotle, Vol. 3: With a Commentary
With the end of Book II we finish the treatment of what (according to the Latin division) is termed z'nwntz'o, the invention and supply of all the various kinds Of arguments, which the orator has to invent, or find for himself; and we now proceed to the analysis of (i) Mfrs, elocutz'o, verbal style, including timixpcmr, delivery, pronuntz'atz'o and actio, (aristotle omits the latter, at all events in the treatment of it, confining iwéxpams to the mode of speaking, declamation, and (2) nifty, the order and disposition, together with the ordinary topics, of the several divisions of the speech. The first is examined in the first twelve chapters, the second from the thirteenth to the end. These three general divi sions of the art are expressed by Cicero, Orator 43, in m'dandu sun! Oratorz', qfd dz'mt (wiry-regs), qua yuz'dque loco (réfcs), at quomado (mfrs).
