Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Composition Compilation of Standard Rules and Usage "One of the greatest of all faults in speaking and writing is this: the using of many words to say little." - Cobbett. "The station of a syllable may cloud the judgment of a council." - De Quincey. "The first valuable power in a reasonable mind, one would say, is the power of plain statement, or the power to receive things as they befall, and to transfer the picture of them to another mind unaltered." - Emerson. "After all, the chief stimulus of good style is to possess a full, rich, complex matter to grapple with." - Pater.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of English Composition: A Compilation of Standard Rules and Usage The aim of this handbook is to present under one cover the main requisites of good English, with the hope that it will be found a convenient code for accurate expression. The book is intended as a companion to a pocket dictionary. It is in no way offered as a substitute for either grammar or rhetoric, but rather as a brief, compact book of reference. It is intended to include standard rules and usage, and a few fundamental processes, - all designed to secure accuracy and something of effectiveness in use of the essentials of English composition. The aim has been to keep statements and illustrations, notes and exceptions, compact and yet definite, clear, illuminating, and interesting. An attempt has been made to include rules that are often violated, that settle doubtful points, that provide for fine distinctions, that point out the minute details of the printed page, and that attract attention to the simplicity and eloquence of English speech.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Written English: A Guide to the Rules of Composition This little book pretends to be in no sense a text book of grammar or rhetoric. It tries to give as briefly as possible such hints and reminders as all but the most experienced writers are sometimes glad to have. We have sought, not to treat the subject exhaustively, but on the contrary to omit all but the matters that in practice prove trouble some. A certain mass of errors, due to carelessness as much as anything else, appear in the writing of every Freshman class; and we have assumed that those same errors probably trouble the aver age graduate of the High Schools, whether he is a college student or not. We hope to give here the rules that cover these errors, and Such other hints as may smooth the path of the average writer.

Download or read book Practical English Composition Classic Reprint written by Carolyn M. Gerrish and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical English Composition It is the purpose of this book to accomplish four things for the student: (1) to give him continually increasing power in original composition; (2) to train him in habits of accuracy in mechanical form (spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, etc.); (3) to develop his interest in good literature; and (4) to stimulate his interest in the affairs of the world in which he lives. From the beginning of the book to the end, students are required to do creative work and are trained to select, arrange, and express ideas so as to make the best use of what they know. The method of teaching is inductive. Models are used in such a way as to encourage and to develop original thought and expression. No blind imitation of models is possible if the method of the book is followed. This requires persistent effort along definitely indicated lines. Beginning with very simple work, the exercises gradually increase in difficulty in both subject matter and technical requirement. The assignments for student practice are varied and very extensive, ranging from the practical to the theoretical, from matters of everyday experience to matters of imagination and fancy. The subjects assigned have been taken almost entirely from lists made out by students when asked to hand in subjects in which they were interested and on which they would like to write. Necessarily, these subjects touch all phases of the lives of young people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Standards in English a Course of Study in Oral and Written Composition for Elementary Schools The beginning of this investigation (to discover a standard for the elementary schools) was made from a negative viewpoint. Following a conference with the teachers of freshman English, in which the purpose of the investigation was talked over at length, a questionnaire was sent to them. They were asked to state very concretely the important weaknesses found most conspicuously on freshman papers. They understood that they were to set down those weaknesses which, by their very nature, branded an English paper as unsatisfactory from the point of view of a teacher of freshman English. Conversely, of course, it followed that the absence of the weaknesses set down would mean work satisfactory from the same viewpoint.

Download or read book Essentials of English Composition Classic Reprint written by Horace S. Tarbell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essentials of English Composition This book is designed for grammar schools and the lower classes in high schools. It may also be profitably used in ungraded schools, and for the private study of those who are desirous of personal improvement in the art of writing. It is complete in its treatment of the practical features that underlie the art of composition. To put complete and connected thoughts upon paper should not be more difficult than to express such thoughts orally. Each form of expression has its difficulties and its advantages. Training in oral speech precedes that in written speech, and, from our greater familiarity with the oral form of expression, it seems the more natural. There is much to be gained, however, from the use of the pen. If the writer fails. To express his thoughts clearly at first, he can change and improve what has been written. The painstaking construction of one's own forms of expression is a chief condition of improvement. A book designed to teach the art of writing must furnish both instruction as to the principles on which good writing is based and exercises adapted to training in the art of speaking and writing.
