    Description/Abstract:
    1963 edition of text first published in 1891 as "Eight Lectures." A note by the author credits the influence of A. S. Hill, Professor Bain, Professor Genung, and Professor McElroy. It also states its new treatment is justified as none of the existing texts are quite simple enough for popular reading. The lectures cover: the elements and the qualities of style, words, sentences, paragraphs, whole compositions, clearness, force, elegance, and summary. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete 316 page text.
