1811Bv2442<p>First Edition. "Rhetoric is an art or faculty which upon every subject considers the capability of persuasion" 25. London: 1811JJ Stockdale. First Printing. A Dissertation upon Rhetoric" translated from the Greek of Aristotle by Daniel Michael Crimmin Esq. was published in London by J.J. Stockdale in 1811. This work is a translation of Aristotle's treatise on rhetoric a foundational text in the field. It was likely part of a larger effort to make classical Greek texts accessible to an English-speaking audience. Translator Daniel Michael Crimmin was a scholar with connections to Trinity College Dublin and the Middle Temple. London-based publisher J.J. Stockdale was well known for producing scholarly works. Aristotle's Rhetoric was classified with a few other works notably the Poetics as encheiridia i.e. handbooks providing foundational treatment of a subject essentially practical guides rather than abstract treatises. As such The Rhetoric in particular was widely circulated albeit in Latin and extensively cited. Rhetoric was of course useful in politics and law but it became increasingly embraced by theological educators. Persuasion is by means of the hearers whenever they are led on into passion by the speech for we do not render our judgments the same way when grieved as when delighted or when friendly as when hostile Sachs 2009. The "Dissertation upon Rhetoric" unravels the basic principles of the art of argumentation. Aristotle's Rhetoric is a cornerstone of Western rhetorical theory and this translation by Crimmin made The Rhetoric available to a wider audience in the early 19th century.

Aristotle's rhetoric tries to strike a middle position. Aristotle says rhetoric and poetry are a technique the Rhetoric is a handbook. Aristotle says the speaker needs to appeal to appropriate information for the particular setting. Much like a lawyer's argument not just relying on facts need to appeal to people's emotions. Aristotle does understand that rhetoric can be used in a harmful way. Aristotle lays out three features in rhetoric: 1. Ethos= character of the speaker also charisma speaker earns the audience's trust use of body language. 2. Pathos= condition of the hearer. 3. Logos= essential bearing on political persuasion truth. Plato's concern by definition therefore excludes speech because it deals with emotion. These three conditions must be in play for a speech to be successful. The rhetoric contains a detailed analysis of the different human emotions and how to elicit them in a speech. Aristotle knows the speaker must be a good student of human nature to tap into human emotions." Michael A Neulander ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall . J. J. Stockdale hardcover

Text in Greek and Latin with the notes and commentary in Latin. Edited and compiled by Friedrich Sylburg with the Latin translation by Dionysius Lambinius and with notes by Guillaume Du Val. Graesse 215. Moss 129. Sylburg received praise from both Moss and Dibdin for his scholarship on Aristotle's writings. Aristotle's Politics are sometimes regarded as the natural sequel to his Nicomachean Ethics: once one knows what it is for a human being to flourish one can consider how the laws of human society can best guide and promote said flourishing. Aristotle undertook a massive effort to examine dozens of Greek city-state constitutions and aimed to discern the best and the worst political principles within them. His Politics then stands as a sort of history of Greece and its political structures. The Politics also contains an examination of the theory behind various forms of government: monarchy aristocracy democracy etc. Aristotle's Economics contains a thorough examination of both macro and microeconomics in ancient Greece. The economics of a city-state a kingdom and of an individual's home are all dissected here and the philosophy behind good home and wealth management is discussed at length. Both his Politics and Economics were highly influential on medieval society and pre-1850 publications of these works have become difficult to find in commerce. A touch of rubbing to the extremities. An armorial bookplate on each volume's front pastedown very light occasional pencil marginalia. E Typographeo Clarendoniano [= At the Clarendon Press] hardcover
