Description/Abstract:: No information on edition or printing is given on the copy. The author, Charles Sears Baldwin, is a Ph.D. and an instructor in rhetoric in Yale University. This manual for first term college students is divided into three parts: the composition as a whole, the paragraph, and the sentence. Intended to prepare and supplement writing knowledge before more special courses, Baldwin's college composition text is intended only to provide students with a structural system for composition. Baldwin advocates not writing strictly by rules; rather, he suggests a basic understanding of the principles of composition. In the introduction he states there are four kinds of writing: description, narration, persuasion, and exposition. This book focuses on applying its principles exclusively to exposition. It further advocates that its rules of construction be applied in the process of revision. It uses familiar terms such as unity, coherence, clearness, and emphasis. The Schultz Archive includes the text in its entirety, and the quality of the text is high.

Description/Abstract:: 1897 printing of 1897 copyrighted text. Scott is credited as Junior Professor of Rhetoric in the University of Michigan. Denney is credited as Professor of Rhetoric and English Language in Ohio State University. According to the preface, the authors have been guided by three considerations: desire for a closer union of rhetoric and composition at the secondary level; desire for a greater use of the paragraph in secondary composition; and the idea of a growing, living and kinetic discourse. Chapters include: external form of the paragraph, paragraph-structure, what to say, how to say it, in what order to say it, how much to say, what not to say. Five appendices include: directions for preparing manuscript, marks used in correcting, material for analysis and reproduction, subjects for essay, and capitals and punctuation. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete text.

Description/Abstract:: 1897 printing (the sixth edition, revised and enlarged) of the 1891 copyrighted text. The author is credited as Professor of Rhetoric and English Composition in Columbia College (University?); formerly Associate Professor of English in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Carpenter claims that the exigency of his text is the fact that most students learn more easily from the comments the instructor makes because her/his examples are familiar to the student and s/he uses literature that is more relevant to the students than what is usually found in texts. Each section contains a fairly detailed exercise that includes explanations, examples and systematic exercises for the students. The exercises often emphasize correcting errors. The chapters cover words, sentences, paragraphs, whole compositions, qualities of style (clearness, force, elegance). Barrett Wendell is credited as a primary influence. Wendell, McElroy, A. S. Hill, David Salmon, and Genung are referenced. The Schultz Archive only includes brief excerpts, but they are good quality.
