Beginnings of Rhetoric and Composition: Including Practical Exercises in English is a book written by Adams Sherman Hill and originally published in 1902. The book is a comprehensive guide to the basics of rhetoric and composition, aimed at students who are just beginning to learn about these subjects. It covers a wide range of topics, including the principles of effective writing, the different types of sentences and paragraphs, and the use of rhetorical devices such as metaphor and simile.The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the principles of rhetoric, including the importance of clear and concise writing, the use of evidence to support arguments, and the role of audience in shaping a writer's message. The second part of the book is devoted to practical exercises in English, designed to help students apply the principles they have learned to their own writing.Throughout the book, Hill emphasizes the importance of practice and perseverance in developing strong writing skills. He provides numerous examples and exercises to help students improve their writing, and he encourages them to take an active role in their own learning.Overall, Beginnings of Rhetoric and Composition is a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their writing skills. Its clear and concise explanations, practical exercises, and emphasis on practice make it an ideal guide for students, teachers, and anyone else who wants to become a better writer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Toward supplying these needs, little can, in my judgment, be contributed by treatises on the theory or the science of rhetoric, by cut-and-dried methods of instruction, or by diagrams, skeleton essays, or other mechanical devices. A young writer will not do so well when he is helped along a smooth and well-travelled highway of commonplace as when he is encouraged to strike out a path for himself. The best teacher of English composition is he who stimulates his pupils to put their natural selves into all that they write. With this object in view, he will provide for them, or will tell them how to provide for themselves, subjects which are closely connected with their work or their play and in which they take a living interest; he will give them freedom in the treatment of their material; and he will help them to remove obstacles, small or great, that lie between what they think and what they write. In the removal of obstacles between thought and expression, this book will, I hope, be of service; for it aims to show a young writer how to present what he has to say in the best English within his reach, and in a form adapted to his purpose.
