Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rhetorical Manual, or Southern Fifth Reader; Embracing Copious and Elegant Extracts Both in Prose and Poetry: A Treatise on Rhetorical Figures, and Ted Principles of Elocution
It is believed that there now exists in the public mind of the south a rapidly-increasing disposition to patronize home schools, and to encourage home enterprise, at least to a much greater extent than formerly. We are not about to preach a crusade against the north, for the purpose Of exciting a greater amount of sectional feeling at the south but we think it: must he confessed, that we. Have lavished our patronage somewhat too freely upon northern schools, school books, and northern enterprise generally, without always receiving adequate returns; while the Same interests, among ourselves, have consequently been neglected in nearly a corresponding ratio. Such a state Of things is by no means compatible with that real independence which it should be the pride Of every citizen to sustain and cherish.
