Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for A. Millar...[inter alia], 1759. 8vo (in 4s), 200 x 112 mms., pp. [iv], 59 [60 blank], recently rebound in full light tan calf, gilt lettering on spine, marbled end-papers. A very good copy, with the bookplate of Sidney Broad on the verso of the front free end-paper The work was noticed in The Monthly Review for August, 1759: "We find very little in this Discourse either to applaud or censure; it being mere declamation, calculated to recommend the study of oratory, --under so able a professor as it is insinuated Mr. Sheridan would prove to be, if placed in either University, and encouraged by a handsome salary. Mr. Sheridan talks much of the evils attending our neglect and disuse of elocution, and the great good that would follow the cultivation of its study and practice He does not, however, point these out very clearly...." This appears to be the sheets of the first edition of the same year, with a cancel title-page. ESTC N47536 locates three copies: Edinburgh University Library and Bodleian; and Huntington in North America
