TO WHICH ARE ADDED

MR. WESLEY'S DIRECTIONS CONCERNING PRONUNCIATION
AND GESTURE.

Neque verò mihi quidquam præstabilius videtur, quam posse
dicendo tenere hominum cœtus, mentes allicere, voluntates im
pellere quò velit: unde autem velit, deducere.-Cicero.

We must not judge so unfavourably of eloquence as to reckon
it only a frivolous art, that a declaimer uses to impose upon
the weak imagination of the multitude, and to serve his own
ends. It is a very serious art; designed to instruct people;
suppress their passions, and reform their manners; to support
the laws; direct public councils, and to make men good and
happy-Fenelon.
