PREFACE .

.j

A taste for Composition may be natural, but the power to
write an agreeable and correct composition must be the result of
education and some practice.
It may be defined as the art of expressing in written words

E~r-O<l. ii.ccoriling to Act of Congress, in the yell.1' 1871, h!'

the result of previously n.cquired ideas.
DICK

&

FITZGERALD,

In t.ll& ofilce of the Lib»&riA'S or Congress e.t WMhingWno

But, that these ideas

may not appear upon paper in· a crude and ignorant fonn, some
· knowledge of the Art of Composition must be learned.

Thought

·s the seed, expression of thought the flower of Composition .

.
Two most important pointil in the preparation of a. Composi-

'. · on arQ the proper formation of id~s, and thQir correct arrangeCompositions given in thiia volume are

i~tended rui

skele-

. ns, giving. n choice of subjects, and the divisions and aub, viaionw which mould them into acceptable shape. Tho usual

one head of a subject, l1rops it unfi ni,.;b.et1, lakes another, returri.s
to the first, writes n. micldle, rmd dov etails in the two cndR.

We

find this invo.rio.bly the fault with inexperienced writcrA.
In the foll owing outlines, the gen eral scope owl metho<l is so
di~tinctly

planned o.nd d efined, tho.t n.ny other 1rnbjects mn.y he

u sed, following th e outlines herein lnid down.

TABtE OF CONTENTS.

Mn.uy of the subjects o.re given in minute divisions, so thn.t, if
a ::ihort Composition is dcsire<l, one or more divisions mn.y be
selected to form the groundwork of a complete Composition.

The aim of this little hand-book being thus explained, it is
hoped thn.t it will prove not only n nseful text-book for tho tyro,

EI.JOQUENCE
a. Eloquence is the power of expressing freely, in appropriate language, the purest and noblest thoughts.
b. It dates its birth from the earliest ages of the world,
and has b een honored and .esteemed in all countri es.
c. In the early hist-Ory of Rome and Greece we fin d the
populace roused to great deeds of valor by the
eloquence of their great orators.
a. The philippics of Demosth enes.
b. The power of Ri enzi 's eloquence in Rome, &c.
-

INFLUENCE OF ELOQUENCE.

a. It appeals directly to the h earers, gaining force and
power from th e effect produced.
b. It points ont clearly rn11l di stinctly th e condition of
the aff.Lirs it would r em edy or overthrow, and appeals by fact and theory at once to the judgment
of an audience.
There is no power that can so b ear upon the human
mind n.s the sonnd of the human voice. Multitudes
have b een carried away by the mighty pow er of
one man's oratory.
d. The great orator will condense in a few powerful
sentences, matter contained in many volumes,
thus giving to the ignorant, or those who lack time
for reading, the information they cannot seek
themselv~.

TRIFLES?
