I wish to produce a book-length historical reconstruction and analysis of George Jardine's works and sphere of influence in Great Britain and America. Heralded as the "contemporary spokesman for the Scottish [educational] system" (Chitnis), Jardine's educational plan merits scholarly attention. An examination of Jardine's works reveals a philosophical rationale and practical teaching plan for expanding introductory college classes to include components of what we now label enlightenment rhetoric. This study will offer rich insights into eighteenth- and nineteenth-century rhetorical theory and practice, while providing opportunities for present-day research in composition pedagogy, the rhetoric of science and religion, and political and social rhetoric.
