- Descripción/Resumen:
- 1900 copyrighted text. Smith is credited with a Bachelor of Philosophy degree and as Professor of English, Tabor College. Thomas is credited with a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard and as Master of English, Boston English High School. Preface states the teaching of rhetoric in schools has tied rhetoric to composition. The authors believe in the inductive method and that instruction should be made as definite as possible in matters involving such subtleties of psychology and taste. Literary judgment should be the end for which rhetoric is studied. The text, designed to cover a course of two years, strives for a wise choice of material, a sound arrangement, a proper proportion of parts, simple language, and concise, clear-cut definitions, enforced by copious illustrations and exercises. The work starts with the whole composition rather than beginning with words, ideas being the first consideration. The authors credit the influence of Professor L. A. Sherman of the University of Nebraska, Professor Sophie C. Hart of Wellesley, and Mr. Thomas Hall of Harvard. Part 1 is Composition, with chapters on the theme, the paragraph, the sentence and words. Part 2 is the Laws of Good Use, with chapters on usage, purity and barbarisms, propriety and improprieties, solecisms, the forms of discourse, the qualities of good style and clearness, emphasis, and elegance. Appendices cover punctuation, letter-writing, examples of defective composition, and additional exercises. The Schultz Archive Copy is roughly the complete 312 page text. The goal of the book "is that of giving training in accuracy of thought, nicety of taste, and finer command of the wizard words that touch imagination." Broken down into various sections of theme and style.

- Descripción/Resumen:
- 1844 printing of the 1844 copyrighted text. The title page says the book is designed as a sequel to Progressive Exercises in English Composition. As with its predecessor, this text seeks to address two primary obstacles for student writers: obtaining ideas and expressing ideas. The author's approach to obtaining ideas is based on what he terms the principle of association. The exercises herein are not presented as a progressive course, but rather are meant to be selected by teachers as they deem useful. The material varies from sample sentences for punctuation practice, to models of the various kinds of compositions, to long lists of subjects for different kinds of compositions. There are seventy-five lessons in all. The Schultz Archive's copy is roughly the complete text.

- Descripción/Resumen:
- 1835 printing of the second edition of the 1834 copyrighted text. Parker is credited with a Master of Arts, as the Principal of the Franklin Grammar school, and as author of Progressive Exercises in English Composition. Fox is credited with a Master of Arts and as Principal of the Boylston Grammar School. The preface states the text is based on the authors' experience as teachers and purposely uses repetitions and a colloquial style to speak its audience. The "usual arrangement" is not followed. Instead, the pupil is first taught to analyze words and phrases, and etymology and syntax are reserved for after the pupil is familiar with the simpler parts of a sentence. The parsing exercises are designed to give students practice in supplying the ellipses in sentences. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete 96 page text.
