Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Composition and Rhetoric What should be most emphasized in a text-book on English composition is a question of much difficulty. My chief concern has been to discover what could be omitted rather than what could be included. The aim of the teacher of composition should be to bring his students into such an attitude of mind that a subject may be to them a genuine question to be answered, and not a mere occasion for combining words into sentences without regard to the thought. I have, therefore, laid especial emphasis on the choice and treatment of themes. If a writer can form the habit of choosing one sharply defined topic and of telling exactly what he thinks, the imperfect details of his composition can be corrected by reading and practice. I need scarcely remark that no book of instructions will make a finished writer. Only constant practice and merciless criticism by the writer himself can yield the desired result. My purpose is, therefore, rather to develop a few general principles than to prescribe definite rules. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of Composition and Rhetoric IN this book the author has endeavored to present a clear and comprehensible discussion of the essentials of Rhetoric and English Composition, and to furnish the stu dent with suitable constructive and critical exercises. The statement of rhetorical principles as set forth in the text and the exercises placed at the end of each chapter have been the outgrowth of nine years' experience in the teaching of high school and college students. Such a course of practical instruction as is embodied in this book should, it is believed, form part of the training of every young man and woman.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Composition and Rhetoric: By Practice, With Exercises, Adapted for Use in High Schools and Colleges This is, first of all, a practical book; not that it excludes theory, but that it gives prominence to practice. If this were not the case, it need not have been written. There are already books enough that deal ably with the theoretical part of the subject, but there are none that combine with theory a sufficient amount of practice. As composition is both a science and an art, no system of teaching it can be successful that does not recognize both of these departments. Young people do not acquire facility and correctness of expression merely by memorizing rules or by poring over methods of sentential structure. Repeated and varied experience in the making of sentences is necessary as well. Still, the learning of principles is not to be neglected; for, although it is not the whole, it is an essential part. How, then, can these two departments of the subject be most advantageously presented to the pupil? Every discerning teacher must have found that little theory and much practice is by far the most effective method of teaching composition. On this maxim this book is based; and its purpose is to furnish the teacher with the means of carrying into effect the plan here indicated. It proceeds on the simple method of laying down a few principles at a time, and then illustrating them with such number and variety of exercises that the pupil may fully master the practical application of these principles, and thereby learn not only to write, but to write correctly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Composition and Rhetoric The purpose of this book is to help the young student to write more clearly and more forcefully. Our aim is not to train writers in the finer graces Of language. That accomplishment depends upon the individual student and lies beyond our power. We shall be content if those who come to our book may receive a fresh desire to use with greater precision the simple English speech which is our priceless heritage. We have tried to keep this book free from the technical word and phrase, because we are persuaded that good Writing depends upon the simple essentials. Therefore, the main stress has been placed upon the word, sentence, and paragraph. Remembering, then, that the plastic mind of the young student is before us, with experiences and likings peculiar to him, we have tried to furnish that mind with clear and simple directions, with examples chosen from good writers, and exercises which will test the student's understanding of the principles of writing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Rhetoric: For Instruction in English Composition and Revision in Colleges and Intermediate Schools The only reason for venturing to add another to the already long list of text-books on English composition, is the desire to aid in giving to the rhetorical training in our schools a more practical character. That much of this training is, and has been, impracticable and fruitless is the verdict of our ablest thinkers on the subject. It is agreed that to be practical, a text-book on Rhetoric must be so constructed that, after a careful study of its principles and a thorough drill in its exercises, the student shall write better English than he wrote before taking up the book. That most of our current text-books on this subject do not meet this test is the belief of the author, after a careful, extended, and impartial trial of nearly all of these. That the average man, even of so-called "liberal education," composes and punctuates badly, often almost incomprehensibly, is known to every editor. Perhaps no other fact has caused so much adverse criticism by the press upon college graduates and our system of collegiate education as has the kind of English often contributed by those graduates. That this state of things is not due to any lack of attention to the branch of Rhetoric, an examination of the curricula of any ten of our prominent seminaries and colleges will prove.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Beginnings of Rhetoric and Composition, Including Practical Exercises in English While I have been at work on this book, I have had constantly in mind the needs of pupils in secondary schools who are learning to express themselves with the pen. Toward supplying these needs, little can, in my judg ment, be contributed by treatises on the theory or the science of rhetoric, by cut-and-dried methods of instruo tion, 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.

This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Composition and Rhetoric for Higher Schools Certain demands may fairly be made of any textbook that purposes to serve the cause of good teaching and aims to win an honorable place in the classroom. Two of these demands take the form of the categorical imperative: the book must be practical, and it must be adequate in scope and content. To these two should be added a third - the book must be interesting; for to sentence students to the use of a dull and lifeless text-book is, often, to condemn them to a lifelong distaste for the subject of that particular book. Then, in these days of many books, the newcomer may fairly be asked to show some traits of its own such as stamp personality on a man or a woman, - traits which will mark it out at once from other books in its class. Two of the important characteristics which give this book its distinct individuality are: (1) The cumulative method of treatment shown in the text in the illustrative examples and especially in the exercises; and (2) The constant emphasis laid on the pupil's own thinking and writing. These features are particularly well illustrated in the treatment of the paragraph. In the early part of the book the single paragraph is made the unit of writing; then, naturally and gradually, related paragraphs are introduced; and, finally, these develop into the longer theme.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Written and Spoken English, Vol. 1: A Course in Composition and Rhetoric Part II is a carefully organized summary of illustrated rules in punctuation, capitalization, sentence structure, and diction, intended for daily reference. A Key to these rules is given on pages 288 - 291 to aid the teacher in mark ing themes, and the method is illustrated on page 287. The teacher will place a rule number on the pupil's theme opposite an error. The pupil will study the rule and then correct his theme, thus learning the principle in the most practical way. Learn to do by doing well is the message this book has for the pupil. The author is convinced that careless theme writing does the pupil more harm than good, and that the habitual use of improper diction or incorrect sentence construction in classroom exercises often fixes bad habits so thoroughly in the mind of the pupil that they remain with him through life. Throughout the book, therefore, he correlates composition work with grammatical and rhetorical theory, and at all times he insists that the pupil write the themes carefully and neatly and then correct the errors after the teacher has indicated where they are.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Rhetoric Herbert spencer, in his Essay on the Philosophy of Style, 'observes that the maxims contained in works on composition and rhetoric are presented in an unorganized form, and proceeds to sys temize the scattered precepts under one leading principle, economy. But economy, while accounting for a large number of rhetorical phe nomena, fails to explain many procedures. This treatise attempts an answer to the question, Is further generalization possible? By deriving all rhetorical law from that principle of beauty known as harmony, or adaptation, - a principle which includes economy, as well as order, unity in variety, and proportion. It is believed that, if the learner at the outset can be made to comprehend this principle in its multitudinous lines of control, the explanation, through it, of the laws of literary diction and style, will acquire a novel and delight ful simplicity. During his twenty years' experience as a teacher of English Composition in the Rhetorical Department at Columbia Col lege, the author has always found that an understanding of reasons, of the wherefore of the rule, inspires the pupil with interest, and sharpens the receptive and the retentive faculties. What is memo rized as a desultory precept is generally left in the class room for exclusive application there; but what is apprehended as the expres sion of a universal and necessary law is made a part of the student's daily thought and practice. When the learner comes to realize that the primal principle of harmony satisfactorily accounts for the rhe torical laws that are unfolded in the successive lessons, he is on the watch, with the opening of each new topic, for a new application of his governing principle; and thus is kept on tension his interest in the philosophical development of the subject to the very last page. Throughout the instruction that follows, it is sought to treat the pupil as an intelligent creator of literature: hence, while the sub ject is introduced by a discussion of the great aesthetic truths that.

In addition to all this teaching, how many scores of times does he compel the practice, under his watchful eye and ear, of every scale and selection, insist upon the proper giving of every note, attend to the manipulation of all the organs con cerned in its making; and how rejoiced is he if, even with such minute and painstaking instruction, the pupil grows, under his tuition, into a tolerable singer or player!
