Excerpt from A Modern Rhetoric

The plan of the book is psychologic. Informal composition is taken up almost at the beginning, and is treated broadly as a whole before the closer study of sentences and paragraphs is introduced. The pupil is thus encouraged to express himself freely, before he is required to write, as Quintilian puts it, with force, point, and vehemence of style. The stages through which he passes from elementary to formal composition are easy and gradual. All help is given to make him feel that composition is a practical and profitable exercise.
