The work explores the realm of stylistic devices used in writing and speaking, aiming to provide English speakers with a deeper understanding of eloquence through the use of ornate language. It serves as a guide for those who wish to enhance their expression in both literary and religious contexts. The opening of this treatise introduces readers to the significance of schemes and tropes in rhetoric, emphasizing their role in embellishing speech and writing. Sherry discusses the lack of English terminology for these rhetorical concepts and expresses a desire to enrich the English language with such figures. The text highlights the importance of clarity and the proper use of language, while also setting the stage for a deeper examination of various figures in the subsequent sections. Overall, this beginning establishes the foundational principles of eloquence that Sherry plans to elaborate upon. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
