Thank you for sending this article. I thought it was interesting. I have
been wondering about this novel for some time, its subtitle, "Being a
Series of Epistles, or Declamations," and Burke's statement in the preface
to the second edition that the novel consists of "early stylistic
exercises." Does anyone know if anyone has studied this novel through the
lens of style, Quintilian, and declamatory practice? Curious.

Rejerce,
Jarron
