About this book
Sherwin Cody wrote The Art of Writing & Speaking the English Language. The text says that in the matter of grammar we are still the slaves of the ancient world, and that our rhetoric was inherited from the middle ages, from scholiasts, refiners, and theological logicians. The text says language is just as much a natural growth as trees or rocks or human bodies, and that science would laugh at the notion of memorizing every individual form of rock.
The text says that in grammar we find seven fundamental logical relationships, and that rhetoric is the art of appealing to the emotions and intelligence of our hearers. The text says that one writer studied the masterpieces of literature and tried to imitate them for several years, and that there is reason to believe the same was true of Thackeray, Dumas, Cooper, Balzac and Lowell. The text advises that each type should be studied and mastered, one type after another.
