This book presents a complete and structured approach to English composition for students. It covers a wide range of essential elements, including capitalisation, punctuation, parts of speech, sentence and paragraph structure, and techniques for writing effective prose and poetry. The author draws on historical and literary sources to demonstrate the development of English grammar and usage, providing readers with a solid foundation in the evolution of the language. The book is particularly strong in its exploration of the nuances of grammar, with detailed explanations of the various parts of speech and their functions within sentences. With a logical progression of topics and clear, step-by-step instructions, this book guides students through the complexities of English composition, helping them develop a strong command of the language and the ability to express themselves effectively in both written and spoken form.

Excerpt from Elements of English Composition, Grammatical, Rhetorical, Logical, and Practical
The following work is for the most part a compilation, the materials being drawn chiefly from the recent English treatises of Williams, Smart, Neil, and Harrison; a portion of them also from the standard works of Blair, Campbell, and Jamieson, and an anonymous London work on the Art of Reasoning. In preparing the grammatical department of the volume, the author has carefully consulted the Grammars of Clark, Murray, Fowler, Bullions, Goold Brown, Spencer, Greene, Butler, Tower, Bailey, Covell, and Mulligan; he has also derived more or less aid from Welch's "Analysis of the English Sentence," Tower's "Grammar of Composition," Quackenboss' "First Lessons and Advanced Course," and Parker's "Aids."
Though aware of the great excellencies which belong to several works on Composition and Rhetoric now in extensive use, the author believes that the present one comprehends more matter that will be found practically useful and available in academies and schools, than any other single treatise.
