HE art of rhetoric and dialectics are so far related, as they both treat of subjects, which, being common, fall, as it were, under the knowledge of mankind in general, and are not contained within the limits of any particular science. Hence, no man is presumed ignorant of either, to the extent of examining or upholding, defending or refuting, any particular reason within his scope.
