Each of the three kinds has a different special
end, and as there are three kinds of Rhetoric, so there are three special ends.
The end of the deliberative speaker Is the expedient or harmful; for he who
exhorts recommends a course of action as better, and he who dissuades advises
against it as worse; all other considerations, such as justice and injustice,
honor and disgrace, are included as accessory in reference to this. The end of
the forensic speaker is the just or the unjust; in this case also all other
considerations are included as accessory. The end of those who praise or blame
is the honorable and disgraceful; and they also refer all other considerations
to these.
