Farnsworth’s Classical English Argument is a nonfiction guide to the art of argument and persuasion, written by legal scholar Ward Farnsworth. It belongs to his Classical English series, which examines the methods and virtues of earlier English-language writing and public speech. This volume focuses specifically on argumentation: how people reason, counter, refute, qualify, and provoke in disputes. Rather than offering abstract theory alone, the book assembles examples from the golden age of English and American public discourse, roughly from the eighteenth through early twentieth centuries, and uses them to classify common argumentative moves. The result is both a reference work and a practical handbook. Readers encounter familiar forms such as syllogism, enthymeme, slippery slope reasoning, circularity, ad hominem attack, reductio ad absurdum, and related fallacies. The book’s purpose is not only to improve one’s own debating skill, but also to make readers more alert to how arguments work, fail, and persuade in public life.
