The Elements of Rhetoric and Composition: A Text-Book for Schools and Colleges (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Rhetoric and Composition: A Text-Book for Schools and Colleges
In carrying out this plan, an effort has been made to stimulate the student with enthusiasm in his work. Many remarks and suggestions have been introduced in the smaller type, as a help to the earnest student, rather than with the intention that they shall be learned for close recitation.
The present edition differs from the preceding in the following particulars (1) many verbal improvements have been made throughout the volume (2) a chapter on the English Language has been added (3) in response to re quests from teachers, the exercises have been more than doubled in quantity. They are retained at the end of the book, for two reasons they make the text more compact; and they may be used in the class-room without allowing the student to make too frequent reference to the text. Some of the plans are adapted from Graham's English Style. The entire work has been newly electrotyped.

Excerpt from The Elements of Rhetoric and Composition: A Text-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.
