    Document
    Descripción/Resumen:
    1894 copyrighted text. The author is credited as having a Ph.D. from Leipsic and as Professor of the English Language in Wesleyan University. The preface explains the book is the result of teaching composition in secondary schools and college and aims to give brief practical suggestions to young writers (and is not a guide to English criticism). It puts special emphasis on the choice and treatment of themes, and the author argues that the study of composition should be combined with the study of literature, as the best models of English prose provide a standard for students to measure their writing against. The book is in two sections: theory and practice. Theory chapters cover words, sententences, paragraphs, the theme, the plan, kinds of composition (description, narration, exposition, argument, persuasion), composition and revision, and style. Practice chapters cover words, sententences, paragraphs, the theme, the plan, kinds of composition (description, narration, exposition, argument, persuasion), studies in literature, and punctuation. Excerpts from celebrated writers are used as illustrative examples. The Schultz Archive's copy is roughly the complete text.

    Descripción/Resumen:
    Fourth edition of the 1885 copyrighted text. The author is credited as having a Master of Arts degree and as Professor of Rhetoric and the English Lanugage in the University of Pennsylvania, member of MLA, and author of a book on English etymology. The preface from the third edition (1889) explains the added Analysis, which is meant to help map the contents and aid the student in studying. The preface to the original edition explains the author has tried to properly balance principles of the art of rhetoric with their practical application, as well as treat both style and invention. The book is focused on the study of prose, but illustrative examples from poets and novelists are occasionally used. The introduction explains rhetoric and composition, laws of rhetoric, and kinds of discourse. The book's first part, Style, covers grammatical purity, elements of style, and qualities of style (significance, naturalness, pathos, humor, satire, harmony, etc.). The second part, Invention, covers the theme and the discussion (modes of discussion, definition, division, comparison and contrast, excitation). The preface also credits the influence of Henry Day. The Schultz Archive's copy is not the complete text. It includes the Analysis and selections from the Introduction and parts one and two.

    Descripción/Resumen:
    Twenty-second London edition printed 1876.The author is not credited on the title page. C. Mayo signs the preface of the original edition, in which he credits his sister for “the execution of the details” resulting in “the Exercises, now for the first time presented to the public.” A preface signed by Elizabeth Mayo was added to the fourteenth edition (1855). According to her preface: The first series exercises the perceptive faculties, arresting attention on qualities discoverable by the senses and furnishing a vocabulary to clothe the ideas. The second and third series exercise the perceptive powers in recalling the impressions made upon them by external objects when they are removed from observation. The fourth series exercises children in tracing resemblances and differences, in drawing comparisons and recognising analogies, thereby cultivating the power of arranging and classifying. In the fifth series reason and judgment are brought into activity by tracing the connection between cause and effect, between use and adaptation, and the power of expression is cultivated. Some changes and additions have been made to the objects in the lessons. The Schultz Archive's copy is roughly the complete text
