Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rhetoric of Conversation, or Bridles and Spurs for the Management of the Tongue As all our great authorities in Rhetoric hold that the orator should be a good man, so we affirm, a little more explicitly, that the conversationist should be a man of evangelical piety. Whether the assertion of Theremin that eloquence is a vir tue, be true or untrue, depends on the meaning he attaches to the word eloquence: thus much, however, we do hazard, that the highest style of colloquial eloquence is the result of many virtues.
