Writing in The Monthly Review, October 1776, William Enfield claimed that Campbell had "discovered a clearness of discernment and accuracy of observation, which justly entitle him to be ranked among the most judicious critics."

Description:
London: Printed for Joseph Johnson..., 1782. 4to, pp. xvi, [3] - 169 [ 170 blank], ms. notes in pencil on front free end-papers, contemporary notes in ink on small leaf loosely inserted, original boards, falling to bits, with spine defective and gatherings as well as individual leaves loose, covers detached with paper missing from boards, edges a little fragile. William Enfield (1741-1797), the Unitarian minister, is doubtless best-known for The Speaker (1774), an anthology of extracts from classical and English literature designed for the improvement of rhetorical delivery in public speaking. The above work is a sort of do-it-yourself guide to making a sermon, with possible subjects digested into categories with recommended texts from the Bible annexed. The work was first published anonymously in 1771 and somewhat revised for this second edition.
