Rhetoric also faded In the 1800s as said in chapter one . He also talked about his reasoning for creating this book and it was created "to lead you through this ill-known world of argument. This chapter also really focused on persuasion . What I mean by that is he talked about how no one could persuade him not even himself . The author referred to things ad experiments. This chapter ended with him explaining why he makes "territorial calls" to his wife.
