‘Qui dicendo nititur persuadere quod bonum est, nihil horum trium spernat, ut scilicet doceat, delectet, flectat; ita enim audietur intelligenter, libenter, obedienter.’—Augustine De Doctr. Christian, iv. 12, 17, 26. ‘These three steps in this progress are intimately connected. We should speak, in the first place, so as to instruct and be understood; in the second, to please, so far at least as to attract and fix attention; and in the third, to gain and conquer.’ Campbell on Past. Char. p. 87.
