Book Description
Excerpt from Essentials of Argument A down-east farmer whose given name was Aminadab was wont to tell his friends that he was the tenth son of his parents, and that all the good names had been used up when they got down to him. We are not apologizing for the title of this book, but certain it is that the number of books written on this subject is legion. It is true that some of these come to our attention at the present time merely as curiosities, but many have survived and are popular on account of admirable qualities. Why, then, should there be a new text-book? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Principles of Argument N azure and Requirements of Proo]. - Some law or prin ciple, whether expressed or not, lies at the foundation of every valid argument, inductive as well as deductive, and proof essentially consists in bringing the proposition to be proved within an accepted law or principle. We assume the existence, says Mr. Alfred Sidgwick, oi uniformities in nature - natural laws; the narrowing down of these into exactitude being the endless problem of discovery, and the completest knowledge of them already attained at any period being, for that period, the basis of all explanation, prediction, and proof.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Principles of Argumentation: Revised and Augmented The study of argumentation has increased so rapidly in schools and colleges during the ten years since the first edition of this book was published that it is no longer necessary to justify the educational importance of the subject. Nor is it necessary now to explain in detail the kind of argumentation taught in this book. For these reasons a large amount of justificatory and explanatory material which filled the early pages of the first edition has been removed. On the other hand, in the ten years since the Principles of Argumentation appeared, it has become steadily clearer that the principles of analysis needed restating for greater accuracy and simplicity; that the difficult subject of evidence, especially refutation, should be given fuller treatment; that the material in the chapter on brief-drawing could be simplified and clarified by rearrangement and a different emphasis; that persuasion needed much more detailed exposition; and that, perhaps the most marked need of all, the importance of rhetoric in argumentation should be given insistent emphasis.

Excerpt from Orations and Arguments The speeches thus chosen have been printed from the best available texts, without change, save that the spelling has been made uniform throughout, and that three of the speeches - those of Webster, Calhoun, and Seward - have been shortened somewhat by the omission of matters of merely temporary or local interest. Yet even the omitted portions have been summarized for the reader, whenever they have seemed to bear upon the main argument.

Book Description
Excerpt from Discussion and Debate: An Introduction to Argument Upon the premise that many of the methods and pro cedures are common to both forms of argument, the author has integrated his treatment of the processes of discussion and debate. Except in a few descriptive chapters specifically con cerned with types of discussion and debate, the interrelation of the two forms is clearly shown. This has necessitated a few innovations. For example, a single brief is used to serve the purposes of both discussion and debate. This integration should help the beginning student to understand and apply basic procedures to differing argumentative situations.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Principles of Argumentation The principles set forth in this book, the queries answered, I have so often talked over with the assistants who, at Harvard and Wellesley, have aided me in my work, that I feel the results here given are as much theirs as mine. I owe so much in the past, also, to their enthu siasm and their intelligent devotion to their work, that I cannot refrain from recognizing my indebtedness. For valuable suggestions while this book has been going through the press and for reading of the proofs I wish in particular to thank assistant-professor S. C. Hart of Wellesley College, and Mr. F. G. Caffey, of Montgomery, Alabama. For the classification of definitions used on pp. 54 - 59 I am indebted to Professor Genung in his Practical Elcmmts of R/zetorz'c.

Book Description
Excerpt from Argumentation and Debate The aim of this book is twofold: (1) to present briefly and clearly the theory of argumentation, (2) to furnish a sufficient number of complete debates for a thorough course in analysis and briefing. The discussion of argumentative theory has been condensed, therefore, and, while illustrated to the point of clearness, is suggestive rather than exhaustive, in order that it may be more fully tested in a study of the selections. Some emphasis has been placed upon the principles of logic for the reason that a knowledge of formal logic on the part of the student cannot be presumed. Furthermore, considerable space has been devoted to a study of evidence as it is found in the courts of law. This material will justify itself for the reason that the legal mind is the one best adapted to debate and for the reason that the debater who confines himself within the limitations imposed by the courts not only builds up a stronger argument but is also better prepared to destroy an opposing argument. The selections have been taken from great debates on critical and living issues of American history, politics, and law. For several reasons they will be found well adapted for analysis and briefing. In the first place, they were delivered by men long practiced in controversy, by men thoroughly trained in life's school of practical affairs. In the second place, the questions debated were at the time of the discussions, and still are, of vital moment to the American people. Hence they are of strong interest to every thoughtful student.
