A learned work of rhetoric . . . compiled and made in the English tongue, of [one] who in judgment is profound, in wisdom and eloquence most famous. Thus in 1563 rhetorician Richard Rainolde praised The Art of Rhetoric, the work that brought into English the procedures of Ciceronian rhetoric-invention, disposition, style, memory, and delivery-the core of the academic curriculum in Renaissance England. Written in vigorous, native English, the Art went through eight editions between 1553 and 1585. At least part of its appeal was practicality. On the final page of his copy on Quintilian, Gabriel Harvey noted that The Art of Rhetoric is the "Daily bread of our common pleaders and discoursers." But its appeal was also academic. In 1619, nearly forty years after the Art had lapsed from print, John Milton's teacher Alexander Gill invoked Wilson as he ridiculed the affectations of pretentiously learned language. Seen in its historical context, Wilson's The Art of Rhetoric reveals a great deal

Wilson's Arte of rhetorique, 1560

As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)

WilsonThe truly Reverend Doctor Thomas Wilson, fifty eight years Bishop of Sodor and Man, was blessed with the spirit of prayer in a very uncommon measure; of which his Sacra Privata, or Privata Meditations and Prayers, are an eminent instance.They have hitherto been locked up from the world in an expensive book$ and are mixed throughout with so much meditation and prayer, that can one properly from the clergy only, (to whom they are an invaluable treasure) as to unfit them for general use.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Casebook addresses concerns from professors and students alike by providing multiple case studies for use in the classroom and as writing assignments to keep students engaged and interested. It is specifically designed for use as a supplement to any textbook for undergraduate business law at the collegiate level. Its purpose is to facilitate discussion. Not only have students responded favorably to this approach, but assessments have shown that retention level is higher in classes that avoid traditional lecture-style delivery and instead emphasize student participation and integration with the material being taught.
