Hugh Blair and the True Eloquence.
Brinton, Alan
Rhetoric Society Quarterly, v22 n3 p30-42 Sum 1992
Characterizes the extent to which--and the ways in which--Hugh Blair's "Sermons" are pathetic or emotional, in light of criticisms that maintain his work is passionless. Examines the closely related matter of Blair's moral philosophy, in which the passions play an important role as subject matter. (TB)
