Now, since each kind of Rhetoric, as was
said,1 has its own special
end, and in regard to all of them we have gathered popular opinions and premises
whence men derive their proofs in deliberative, epideictic, and judicial
speeches,2 and, further,
we have determined3 the
special rules according to which it is possible to make our speeches ethical, it
only remains to discuss the topics common to the three kinds of rhetoric.
