Paperback. Condición: Good. Excerpt from The Art of Authorship: Literary Reminiscences, Methods of Work, and Advice to Young Beginners, Personally Contributed by Leading Authors of the Day>Some time since I was requested by a number of young men to address them upon the art of composition and effective public speech. Thinking how best to make such a topic interesting as well as instructive, I resolved to illustrate the lecture by securing, if at all possible, ipersonal experiences and counsels from a few of the leading writers and speakers of our day. Appealing to several well known authors and orators, and receiving valued and helpful replies, I was induced to extend the number of such personal testimonies, with the idea of giving them to those for whom they were designed in a more permanent form than an address spoken from the lecture plat form. This volume is the outcome, so far as the above-mentioned communications bear directly upon the art of effective written composition.

Hard Cover. Condición: Very Good+ binding. Early edition. A reasonably bright early edition of this collection of personal testimonies on the art of writing collected by Bainton in letters solicited from a number of authors of the day. Noteworthy principally because this is the first appearance in book form of Mark Twain's oft-quoted insight: "[T]he difference between the almost right word and the right word is really a large matter--'tis the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning" [pp. 87-88]. The industrious Bainton collected quite an assemblage of contemporary authors -- from important ones such as Twain, to lesser lights such as Miss. E. F. Poynter and William Minto. Previous owner name and bookplate on the pastedown. Small chip to the corner of the front endpaper. Very Good+ binding.…
