William Enfield (1741-1797) was a British Unitarian minister. This was his bestselling book, first published in 1774. He produced this work, an anthology of literary extracts intended to assist in practising elocution, for his Warrington pupils before publishing. It contains narrative, didactic, descriptive and argumentative pieces, orations, and dialogues, among other categories; to the front of the work is also an essay on elocution.

Front board is detached. Rear hinge is tender but held by two cords. Lower corner to front board is delaminating. Binding is a little strained in one place but otherwise the pages are firmly bound. Lacking the half title page. Pages are age toned with the odd handling mark and spot, more concentrated to the first and last pages.
