- Preface dated 1878. Author is credited with a Master of Arts degree and as Professor of Logic, Rhetoric, and English at the University of Rochester.

It also covers style and figurative language. It is intended for high schools and academies (the author wants students to possess this knowledge before entering college). It also offers advice on how to teach and structure lessons and assignments. The Schultz Archive copy contains the preface and pages 100 – 112, which are from a chapter titled Praxis in Composition.

- Printing date obscured. The author is credited as Inspector of Schools. Preface states practice of analyzing/parsing sentences teaches students to decompose sentences, but not to compose, which involves arranging words, phrases, and clauses in their most effective setting. This work teaches analysis for the purpose of synthesis. It also covers equivalent modes of expression, synthesizing examples by well known writers, and the correcting of errors. The parts of the book are: the simple sentences, the complex sentence of two clauses, the compound sentence, and the complex sentence of more than two clauses. The author credits Bain, A. F. Murison, and Dr. Hodgson as influences. The Schultz Archive copy contains only the preface and TOC.

- 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:
- 1907 copyrighted text. Author is credited with a PhD and as Assistant Professor of English in the University of Wisconsin. A practical manual for students of composition for reference in case of errors in themes and for independent reference by those who want information on good usage, grammar, spelling, punctuation, paragraphing, manuscript-arrangement, and letter-writing. Preface argues the text is purposefully dogmatic, as it is necessary for most students to observe rigidly and invariably rules to which masters of the art make exceptions. The author credits the influence of Professors Adams Sherman Hill, William Dwight Whitney, Alphonso G. Newcomer, John Duncan Quackenbos, Fred Newton Scott, and Joseph Villier Denney. Section one, the Composition of Discourse, includes: introductory on the standard of good usage, diction, the structure of sentences, and the structure of larger units of discourse. Section two, Putting Discourse on Paper, covers: spelling, legibility, arrangement of manuscript, alterations in manuscript, punctuation, syllabication, abbreviations, etc. Section three is Analytical Outlines; section four, Letter-Writing; section five, a Glossary of Miscellaneous faulty expressions. The appendices cover: exercises for breaking certain bad habits in writing and speaking, a grammatical vocabulary, and a list of words that are often mispronounced. The Schultz Archive is roughly the complete 239 page text.

- Descripción/Resumen:
- 1838 printing of 1838 copyrighted text. This text on composition is for those who have already gained a knowledge of English grammar, particularly those in academies and elementary schools.

It also claims students are often given subjects to write on which they know nothing about and that they think they must strive for originality. Real occasions of life after school or subjects drawn from the students' studies should be used. It is recommended that students be assigned a composition every week to be corrected by the teacher. Written as a catechism. Covers history of writing, beauty, taste, kinds of style (perspicuity, unity, harmony, strength, etc.) figurative language, and kinds of composition (letters, essays, orations, poetry, etc.). The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete 129 page text.
