As we now look back, it is clear that England's fundamental rhetorical standards were those of Europe, and the standards of Europe were predominantly Ciceronic. English rhetorics are adaptations of, or are based upon the regular grammar school texts. These texts were in turn classical texts, or adaptations of, or compilations from such texts. The logics were predominantly Aristotelian, but with Ramus beginning to show his influence toward the end of the century and carrying along with his logic the companion rhetoric of Talaeus to complete the system. We know, therefore, what kind of rhetoric and logic will be taught in the grammar schools.
