Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Works of Aristotle, Vol. 11: Rhetorica by W. Rhys Roberts; De Rhetorica Ad Alexandrum, E. S. Forster; De Poetica, Ingram Bywater
To the Introduction (macmillan, 1867) and the Com mentary (cambridge University Press, 1877) of that fine and still lamented scholar, Edward Meredith C0pe, all British students of the R/zetoric owe a great debt. In the following translation I am further indebted to Professor W. D. Ross, to Dr. A. S. Way (for his verse renderings), to Professor E. A. Sonnenschein and Professor E. S. Forster, and above all to my former colleague at Leeds, Mr. L. H. G. Greenwood, whose singular command both of Greek and of English has been of the utmost service to me throughout.
It should be added that Roemer's recension (2nd edition, 1898) of the Greek text has been followed in the main. Divergences from it are noted as they occur.
