They outline Abraham Lincoln's six-element method for persuasive writing, which he used to draft the Gettysburg Address, as a verbal form of the scientific method, consisting of enunciation that states the given and what is being sought from it; exposition of additional facts; specification of what is sought; construction, which adds what is lacking in a given for finding what is sought; proof; and a conclusion of what is demonstrated. They provide lessons on each of the elements, with examples from Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Euclid, and also discuss aspects like investigation, credibility, and writing, and provide exercises.
