Excerpt from The Elements of Rhetoric and Composition This book is intended to be a hand-book for the student. It aims to provide information, directions, illustrations, and exercises sufficient to guide him in the practical work of writing themes. Consequently it is addressed to the student and not to the teacher. Suggestions and information desirable for the teacher, which have been excluded from this book, have been placed in a "Manual for Teachers, " designed to accompany it. The question of the order in which the different parts of rhetoric are to be studied must be considered by every teacher with respect to the needs of his pupils. The present arrangement will, it is believed, prove its adaptability to the needs of the great majority of classes, but the chapters of the book are distinct by themselves, each devoted to a separate topic, so that changes in their order may be readily made to suit special conditions. A course in composition is worth much that does not call for regular practice in writing by the student, and writing under the guidance and personal criticism of a competent teacher. This book is for use in such a course of theme-writing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
