    Description/Abstract:
    A copy of the second, corrected edition, dated 1885. The author is one of the ministers of the High Church and Professor of Rhetoric and Belles Lettres in the University of Edinburgh. A collection of lectures from twenty-four years of Blair's instruction. Blair claims that he has only published these lectures as a result of their circulation in uncertain forms without his consent. The lectures cover taste, genius, the sublime, beauty and other pleasures, the rise and progress of language, structure of language and the English tongue, perspicuity and precision, structure of sentences, harmony of structure, figurative language, and figures of speech.The Schultz Archive only includes a few excerpted lectures from the various volumes. The quality of the text in the collection is good.
