Excerpt from The Art of Discourse: A System of Rhetoric, Adapted for Use in Colleges and Academies, and Also for Private Study

An indispensable condition of such continuous growth is an intelligent apprehension of the essential nature and laws of each of the diverse processes in which thought may be presented to other minds. A moments reflection will satisfy any candid mind that the expectation of reaching, any high degree of skill in the construction of discourse, whether written or extempore, without separate study and practice in each of these general processes, is just as preposterous as the expectation of attaining mathematical skill by general practice in computing, without specific study of the elemental principles of quantity, and practice in the fundamental rules of computation. As the only common-sense method of acquiring arithmetical skill is by the study of the ground-rules of arithmetic, one by one and successively, - addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, of reduction of fractions, evolution and involution, proportion, - not by general exercises in computation involving any or all these processes in combination, so the only rational method of acquiring skill in writing and speaking is by the separate study of each process of presenting thought.
