1823 printing, 1918(?) copyright. A practical, elementary volume which conducts the pupil from principle to practice. Preface argues for the mental advantages of learning composition and emphasizes clearness, precision, energy, perspicuous and forcible expression, methodical arrangement, accuracy in thought and expression, and correctness. Part I (orthography, punctuation, and style) includes rules and definition briefly stated. Part II (analysis and criticism) focuses on seeing the application of rules in the writing of others. Part III moves from simple exercises in a variety of expression to unassisted composing of a whole piece. An appendix includes practical instructions on the formation and correction of style. Murray and Blair are credited as influences. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete text.
