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.

Book excerpt: 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?"

Download or read book Practical Grammar and Composition written by Thomas Wood and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-05 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical Grammar and Composition Thomas Wood This book was begun as a result of the author's experience in teaching some classes in English in the night preparatory department of the Carnegie Technical Schools of Pittsburg. The pupils in those classes were all adults, and needed only such a course as would enable them to express themselves in clear and correct English. English Grammar, with them, was not to be preliminary to the grammar of another language, and composition was not to be studied beyond the everyday needs of the practical man. Great difficulty was experienced because of inability to secure a text that was suited to the needs of the class. A book was needed that would be simple, direct and dignified; that would cover grammar, and the essential principles of sentence structure, choice of words, and general composition; that would deal particularly with the sources of frequent error, and would omit the non-essential points; and, finally that would contain an abundance of exercises and practical work. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.

Download or read book A Practical English Grammar written by Judson Perry Welsh and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical English Grammar: With Lessons in Composition and Letter-Writing I have tried to keep in mind that the grammarian's prov ince is to collect and arrange the facts and principles of lan guage as they are exhibited in the habitual usage of the majority of educated speakers and writers, and that it is not his province to make laws for the government of the language nor to try to make it conform to laws that gram marians have made, or have transferred from the grammars of inflected and, too often, dead languages. The object of the study of English grammar is not, pri marily, to learn to speak and write the English language correctly, as we have so often been told, but to acquaint the pupil with the logic of thought and expression, to add to his enjoyment of excellent literary productions, to give him mind-discipline, literary culture, and readiness of speech, and perhaps incidentally to correct a few of his inaccurate expressions, and to hinder the acquisition of others.

This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Course in English Composition Reading up beforehand is by no means advised in every case. And yet there seems to be little warrant for the objections to this practice sometimes advanced of late. The early work of nearly every great writer shows clearly that he began by' conscious, if not deliber ate, imitation. Still, it will be apparent from even a hasty glance into this book that style is not considered the all-important thing it is the subject-matter of models and references that has in most cases led to their selection, even translations being admitted. After all else is done, one thing remains for the teacher the criticism of the pupil's work.' There fore, mechanical faults and minor individual vices of style are not discussed herein. They are as numerous and as diverse as are the individual writers. Often, too, they are not matters of absolute right or wrong. Many adventitious considerations, which cannot be foreseen here, must go to settle the question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two-Book Course in English, Vol. 2: Practical English Grammar With Exercises in Composition The aim of the work is to give the pupil a mastery of the fundamental facts of English grammar, and to lead him to use that knowledge in the interpretation of literature and in the expression of his own thought. The instruction has been made concrete by the use of illustrative examples. These examples have been selected with great care from the works of the best writers, and they not only serve to make clear the grammatical points under consideration, but also aid in the formation of the pupil's literary taste, and help him to see that the laws of language are derived from the usage of the best writers and speakers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Exercises in English Composition: Or the Young Composer's Guide Of the numerous works on education that have been issued from the press, none that has appeared on the subject of English Composition seems to afford the young composer the necessary assistance to the successful pursuit of this study. Without entering into a detail of the defects of the systems before the public, it is sufficient to remark that they presuppose more mature thought, and a closer acquaintance with language than the pupil has acquired at the proper time to commence the study of this art. The work here presented is designed as a sequel to the author's New System of English Grammar, which forms a gradual introduction to the first principles of composition. The plan pursued in the following exercises, as in the work mentioned, is founded on the application of the principle of imitation.
