Hardback. Lancelot Oliphant, The Gregg Publishing Company Ltd. Condition remarks:Book: Fair Jacket: N/APages: Good Markings: No markingsCondition remarks: Faded spineA foundational educational text in the field of English language instruction, English Composition by Lancelot Oliphant presents a structured and methodical approach to mastering written English, guiding students through the essential principles of grammar, style, and effective communication. Oliphant instructs readers on the craft of constructing clear, coherent prose, addressing common pitfalls in composition and offering practical exercises designed to sharpen writing skills. The tone is authoritative yet accessible, reflecting the pedagogical tradition of early twentieth-century language education, where precision and clarity were prized above all. Aimed primarily at students and learners seeking to strengthen their command of written English, the work argues that disciplined practice and a firm grasp of grammatical rules are the cornerstones of effective composition.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. VERY rare book anyway, but even more scarce to find this in its magnificent 1930s jacket, artworked by Bethell Jones. Jacket now protected, but it is a bit worn and chipped along the edges in places. The jacket spine is also faded. Clean text, and the green textblock edges are close to being unfaded. The binding has been well looked after by the jacket. It has no bent corners and no fading. The wonderful decorative binding is a joy to behold. The gilt titling on the spine is brilliant. No inscriptions, and no marks within the text; no bent corners, but there are what looks like finger marks on the half title. The gorgeous frontispiece has its tissue guard in place, and the highly decorated title page is in two colours and it looks splendid. A really good collectors copy of a highly unusual and hard to find book. 0.0 0.0 0.0.…
