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.
