About This Item
[Dueling] Dodge, John W. Handwritten Dialogue on Duelling. (sic) [No publication information] 1832. Green wraps. 9 pp. In Latin. Covers detached. Edge chips, stains.
A dialogue between two characters, Edward and Henry. Perhaps a school exercise. "As dialogue is a copy of that easy intercourse, and free communication, which men have with each other, it is a species of composition very generally pleasing. Accordingly, we find it in early estimation. Some parts of the Old Testament are written in this form; and the Greek, and Roman philosophy was often conveyed to the world through its intervention. Plato, and Tully were the great masters in philosophy of this mode of writing …. In the first place, a proper subject should be selected. Every subject is not proper for a dialogue. A subject either simply narrative, or simply didactic, is improper, because it throws all the conversation into one hand. It should be a subject which has two sides; and will therefore bear a debate." – William Gilpin, On Dialogue Writing. 1807.Reviews
