[At end of full column ad for The Art of Speaking]
. . . in the following lines of an elegant poet, we have not
only a beautiful elogium on rhetoric, in the person of the
late Earl of Chesterfield, but a sublime instance of its
happiest attainment:
  When drest by thee, more amiable fair,
  Truth the soft robe of mild persuasion wears:
  Thou to assenting reason giv'st again
  Her own enlightened thoughts; call'd from the heart.
