Book Description
Excerpt from Manual of Composition and Rhetoric The present volume, which has been prepared in response to the wish of many teachers, observes throughout the principle followed in Books I and II of the same series: it considers language in its relation to thought and the expression of thought. Like the previous volumes, it is practical rather than theoretical. It connects the subject of composition with the experiences of everyday life, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, with the study and appreciation of literature. The plan of the book, though simple and transparent, is novel in some respects, and may justify a word of explanation. Part I is in itself an elementary manual of composition. It sets forth, in plain terms, the object and method of the study; it discusses words, sentences, and paragraphs; it explains and illustrates the principles of unity, variety, emphasis, and transition; it treats of the selection and arrangement of material; and it gives abundant practice in writing letters and brief essays. It may be used by younger or older classes, according to the grading of the pupils and the amount and character of their previous training in English; and it is well adapted to the purposes of a review or general survey of the subject in preparation for the systematic study of the Forms of Discourse in Part II. Thus Part I affords a means of transition from one stage of progress to another and enables the pupil to begin his more advanced work in composition with a firm grasp on the first principles of the art and considerable facility in applying them.

Book Description
Excerpt from English Composition and Rhetoric: A Manual As regards increasing the pupils' fund of expression, the English teacher can do comparatively little. The reason is obvious. The command of language is a grand total, resulting from the practice of a life a small frac tion of that total is all that can grow up within the limits of a Course of English Composition.

Book Description
Excerpt from Composition and Rhetoric: Teachers' Manual In addition to providing a key to the more difficult exercises, the author has included many supplementary assignments, as well as several specimens of composition, and has offered suggestions for presenting certain topics. The statement of the aims and the activities for each chapter may help to systematize the work of both the teacher and the class. Many teachers will readily supple ment the aims and the activities and thus add to the effective ness of their instruction and increase the interest of their students. Since Composition and Rhetoric is designed for use in senior high-school classes, the plan of arrangement and the organization of material differ somewhat from that found in most textbooks for junior-high-school classes. The following brief Outline shows the general plan and the scope of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
