Excerpt from The Method and Practice of Exposition: A Text-Book for Advanced Students in Colleges and Universities Exposition is the one form of writing that men and women who write at all in their every-day life, business, profession, or scientific pursuit, are constantly employing. This book attempts to furnish the psychological theory of exposition, its methods, and ways in which it has found best expression, to those who are thoughtful about their discourse, in science, history, literature, and even business, though the emphasis is, very naturally, placed more upon literary study and authorship than upon any other sort. It has been written chiefly for students who have had at least the study and practice usually pursued during the first year of college. The book, therefore, is not intended to take the place of but to follow upon the study of such invaluable texts and hand-books as Genung's Working Principles of Rhetoric, Cairns's Forms of Discourse, Scott and Denney's Paragraph-Writing, Bates's Talks on Writing English, Wendell's English Composition, Gardiner's The Forms of Prose Literature, and Fulton's Expository Writing. However, while the book is designed primarily for advanced college and university students, it is possible that the intelligent and vigorous writer, teacher, critic, or analytical reader who may not be in college classes, may find its suggestions stimulating and directive.
