MILNER, John (1718--1779)
Rhetoric; or the principles of oratory delineated: in which all the branches of that noble art are considered, and supported by large quotations, in the form of notes, from Cicero and Quintilian, &c. The whole is illustrated by some considerable extract; from Mr. Rollin's method of studying the belles lettres; &c. Together with Figura metrica or the principal figures of grammar and rhetorick in eighty four Latin verses, to be learned by heart; with notes explaining both name and thing. ... Drawn up at first to serve a private occasion of life, and now made publick as a testimony of respect to the British youth.
