Excerpt from The Elements of Rhetoric and Composition: A Text-Book for Schools and Colleges

In carrying out this plan, an effort has been made to stimulate the student with enthusiasm in his work. Many remarks and suggestions have been introduced in the smaller type, as a help to the earnest student, rather than with the intention that they shall be learned for close recitation.

The present edition differs from the preceding in the following particulars (1) many verbal improvements have been made throughout the volume (2) a chapter on the English Language has been added (3) in response to re quests from teachers, the exercises have been more than doubled in quantity. They are retained at the end of the book, for two reasons they make the text more compact; and they may be used in the class-room without allowing the student to make too frequent reference to the text. Some of the plans are adapted from Graham's English Style. The entire work has been newly electrotyped.
