Whether people want to consider Rhetoric as a course of Philosophy or as a working tool, it is verily an eloquent Art. Many ohistorical figures have persuaded their own studies and refined its definitions. Many schools of thoughts and ethics have used Rhetoric as a power tool to peruse their educations. An expert of Rhetoric, whose ideas on Rhetoric evoked my interest, explains several parts or categories of Rhetoric. He is none other than Marcus Fabius Quintilianus, a famous Roman Rhetorician (NNDB, 2011). His terms on Rhetoric can be widely seen in today’s world, because of the subject of interests he has presented to us.
As a rhetorician himself, Quintilian wrote a twelve-volume text book on rhetoric titled “Instutio Oratoria” (Institutes of Oratory or The Orator’s Education, as pointed out by O’Neil in The Educational Theory of Quintilian) which was published around AD 95 (O’Neil, 2008). Alongside the theory form and the practical form of rhetoric, the book outlines developmental education to be learnt and practiced from infancy throughout the rest of the orator’s life (O'Neill, 2001). This was classified through Quintilian’s first recommendation in his first book that, according to the Greek customs, the orator is to begin learning rhetoric as a young person. Book II then revolved around the foundations of rhetoric that leads to the next nine books, in which the first five detailed 'Invention' and ended with "Elocution, with which was associated Memory and Delivery," (Butler, 61, Book I). His Final book portrays all aspects of the orator’s life from “his character, the principles of undertaking, preparing, and pleading cases, his style, the end of his active career and the studies he may undertake thereafter" (Butler, p. 61, Book I).
