Book Description
Excerpt from Composition and Rhetoric for Higher Schools Certain demands may fairly be made of any textbook that purposes to serve the cause of good teaching and aims to win an honorable place in the classroom. Two of these demands take the form of the categorical imperative: the book must be practical, and it must be adequate in scope and content. To these two should be added a third - the book must be interesting; for to sentence students to the use of a dull and lifeless text-book is, often, to condemn them to a lifelong distaste for the subject of that particular book. Then, in these days of many books, the newcomer may fairly be asked to show some traits of its own such as stamp personality on a man or a woman, - traits which will mark it out at once from other books in its class. Two of the important characteristics which give this book its distinct individuality are: (1) The cumulative method of treatment shown in the text in the illustrative examples and especially in the exercises; and (2) The constant emphasis laid on the pupil's own thinking and writing. These features are particularly well illustrated in the treatment of the paragraph. In the early part of the book the single paragraph is made the unit of writing; then, naturally and gradually, related paragraphs are introduced; and, finally, these develop into the longer theme.

Excerpt from New Composition and Rhetoric for Schools During the twelve years in which Herrick and Damon's Composition and Rhetoric for Schools has been in use, the authors have seen no occasion to alter their general views as to the function of such a text-book. The following statements are therefore repeated from the preface to the first edition with such slight changes as are necessary to make them conform to the present text.

Book Description
Excerpt from Composition and Rhetoric It is believed that well-prepared students of the first and second years of the high-school can use this book, although certain schools which have not been able to devote much time to the study of English might find it profitable in the third and fourth years. In either case it is hoped that this book may be a directing and suggestive force, especially if it be supplemented by frank class-criticism upon the themes. Too much can not be said of the value of such criticism from teachers and students. It is often difficult to draw out, but once it is secured, it will be found to have both a stimulating and a restraining influence on the written work of the students, and will make the study of English a pleasure.

Book Description
Excerpt from High School English: Composition-Rhetoric-Literature The literature selections have been edited with the design not only of supplying necessary information but also of inducing the student to do his own thinking. There is at present far too much so-called appreciation and far too little real thought expended upon literature. In the prepara tion of the Exercises and of the Notes and Questions the authors have constantly borne in mind this supreme aim of education - the development of the ability to think. Teachers are therefore urged to require the students to write all the Exercises and to answer all the Questions.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Elements of Rhetoric and Composition: A d104-Book for Schools and Colleges This book is designed as a practical introduction to English composition. In "The Science of Rhetoric," - the advanced work of the series, - the aim is to present the laws of discourse as a scientific system. In this book, the aim is to furnish a compendium of rules for guidance in the art of writing. It is taken for granted that those who will use this book can both read and write simple English sentences. For such students, the mere making of sentences is an unprofitable exercise. What they especially need is direction how to concentrate the mind upon the work of composing. The only way to acquire skill in writing is by actual practice in the various processes of the art. Accordingly, learners should first be assisted in finding a subject of thought, and then be shown how to accumulate, arrange, and express the ideas connected with the theme. This view has given shape to the treatment of composition in this book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Composition Rhetoric-Literature: A Four Years' Course for Secondary Schools 6. The Development of Appreciation of Literature. - The development of literary taste is a difficult, slow, and vexing task. The beauty of literature cannot be tracked and hunted down as can obvious facts and dates. In the early years it is safer not to analyze too much, but to depend upon the constant presence of poetic beauty to communicate its charm. In art of any kind, unconscious.
