1890 printing. The text is divided into Junior and Senior sections. The Junior section is further broken down into synthesis of simple sentences, practice in simple sentences, sentences, combined, punctuation, easy narrative, easy essays, letters, and grammar. The Senior section is broken down into on the choice of words, on the arrangement of words, grammar, the sentence, simile and metaphor, brevity, strength, miscellaneous sentences to be amended, miscellaneous subjects for composition, and notes for teachers. The book contains some 131 numbered exercises and 381 numbered rules or explanations of rules. The notes for teachers explains that composition naturally divides into three parts: elementary practice, instruction in correcting writing, and instruction in beautiful writing. The Schultz Archive copy is roughly the complete text.
