Three Dialogues on Pulpit Eloquence (Eales)

François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon

Fénelon's three dialogues on preaching, between A, a man of taste, and two friends: against wit and brilliancy in sermons; how the orator must prove, portray and move; and the eloquence of Scripture and the Fathers. In the English of Samuel J. Eales (London, 1897), with his introductory essay and notes. The French book is divided by length, not by dialogue, so this is its own book of the same work.
