Product Description
Excerpt from Practical English Composition, Vol. 1 "Whoever wishes to attain an English style, familiar but not coarse, and elegant but not ostentatious, must give his days and nights to the volumes of Addison.** Samuel Johnson. Life of Addison. "Children learn to speak by watching the lips and catching the words of those who know how already; and poets learn in the same way from their elders." James Russell Lowell. Essay on Chaucer. "Grammars of rhetoric and grammars of logic arc among the most useless furniture of a shelf. Give a boy Robinson Crusoe. That is worth all the grammars of rhetoric and logic in the world... Who ever reasoned better for having been taught the difference between a syllogism and an enthymeme? Who ever composed with greater spirit and elegance because he could define an oxymoron or an aposiopesis?"
