Description
A transitional work in the history of rhetoric, long out of print and difficult to obtain partly because of the author s death shortly after first publication of his venturesome work, Lawson s "Lectures "have become increasingly important to scholars and students interested in tracing the link it provides from the neoclassical to the later period of rhetorical development. The present edition, a facsimile edition of the first 1758 Dublin edition, provides the only authoritative text, since all subsequent printings were posthumous and contained numerous minor alterations not the author s intent."
