Rhetoric Day 62.1
There are three types of Statement of Facts. It is one type when we set forth the facts and turn every detail to our advantage so as to win the victory, and this kind appertains to the cause on which a decision is to be rendered. There is a second type which often enters into a speech as a means of winning belief or incriminating our adversary or effecting a transition or setting the stage for something. The third type is not used in a cause actually pleaded in court, yet affords us convenient practice for handling the first two types more advantageously in actual causes.
- Cicero "Ad Herennium"
