You may also find a version published
by Pearson:
Two covers, same
book. You'll find this cover in the campus bookstore.

This site from MIT contains the same translation of the Rhetoric
as that listed above. While it does not include the
hypertext links as the Iowa State site, it does permit a relatively
quick down load of the Rhetoric you can print out.
OR

The Perseus Project is an evolving digital library of resources for
the study of the ancient world. Gregory Crane is
the Editor-in-Chief of the project, hosted and supported by Tufts
University.
This version of the Rhetoric
includes
hypertext footnotes. This is a very useful site since you can
search
texts for specific uses of key rhetorical terms!
Directions for searching Perseus I recommend printing these directions for easy reference. (The example will be related to Aristotle's Rhetoric)
Once you are at the Perseus front page, look for "Tools" (just under the editor's name) and click "Tools"
Scroll down the page to "English Index" and click it.
Click "Select" texts to search. Once you get the list (and it is long), scroll down to Aristotle. Rhetoric. (English) and click the box next to it.
Scroll to the very bottom and click "Select" texts to search
To search for key terms in the Rhetoric, type the word you want in the text box in the middle of the page (not the one in the top right corner).
The first line contains the Bekker Index address for the section of the Rhetoric where the quote was found (1401a). The material below it shows you the word used in context.
To go to the section of the Rhetoric to see the larger context and other terms to which it may relate, click the Bekker Index and it will take you to it. If you are going to use a print version of the Rhetoric, or a different translation, use the same Bekker Index number to find the section in whatever edition you wish and use it to cite the section of the Rhetoric you are using. For example, in a critical essay, you may write, "...Aristotle distinguishes two kinds of common proofs: example and enthymeme (1401a)."
