This book has a considerably rich content， covering a comprehensive introduction to rhetoric， a detailed history of rhetoric， famous orators， samples of oratory speeches and figures of speech. The art of English orations， concurrently used as title of this book， is a consistent subject matter permeating the whole book from the introduction to rhetoric to samples of oratory speeches and then， possibly a little bit deviating， to the illustration of figures of speech. Readers may expect to find a duly comprehensive elucidation of all relevant stuff concerning orations.
