    1893 printing of 1893 copyrighted text. Raymond is credited with a L.H.D., as Professor of Oratory and Aesthetic Criticism in the College of New Jersey at Princeton, and as the author of several texts. Wheeler is credited with a Litt.D. and as University Fellow in English 1891-2, and in Oratory and Aesthetic Criticism 1892-3, in the College of New Jersey. A textbook designed to combine elocution and rhetoric, as these are often taught together. Preface argues that as elocution is simpler, it can used as an aid to understanding rhetoric. The introduction discusses "Elocution and Rhetoric Correlated." The section on style covers effects corresponding to those of elocutionary time, to those of elocutionary pitch, to those of elocutionary force, and to those of elocutionary quality. The section on theme cover the selection, limitation, a division of subjects, and the treatment of subjects as determined by their aims and readers. The Schultz Archive copy contains the preface, TOC, the introduction, and pages 166 – 203, (the theme section and the index).

    Descripción/Resumen:
    1893 printing of 1892 copyrighted text. The author is credited as the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory in Harvard University. Preface begins with Swift's definition of good style: proper words in proper places. The author adds a third aim of style: to use no more words than necessary. He calls these three objectives the foundations of rhetoric. Part one is about words and contains two books: words and not words (covering grammar); and words to choose. Part two is about sentences. Book one, sentences good and bad, covers clearness, force, ease, and unity. Book two, sentences to choose, covers long of short sentences, periodic or loose sentences, and principals of choice. Part three is about paragraphs covers characteristics of a good paragraph, sentences in a paragraph, and paragraphs by themselves and in succession. Each lesson begins with an example or examples for the students to use to try and discover the rule. The Schultz Archive copy contain the preface, TOC, and a few pages from part three.
