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.

Book excerpt: Lucille M. Schultz's The Young Composers: Composition's Beginnings in Nineteenth-Century Schools is the first full-length history of school-based writing instruction. Schultz demonstrates that writing instruction in nineteenth-century American schools is much more important in the overall history of writing instruction than we have previously assumed. Drawing on primary materials that have not been considered in previous histories of writing instruction—little-known textbooks and student writing that includes prize-winning essays, journal entries, letters, and articles written for school newspapers—Schultz shows that in nineteenth-century American schools, the voices of the British rhetoricians that dominated college writing instruction were attenuated by the voice of the Swiss education reformer Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi. Partly through the influence of Pestalozzi's thought, writing instruction for children in schools became child-centered, not just a replica or imitation of writing instruction in the colleges. It was also in these nineteenth-century American schools that personal or experience-based writing began and where the democratization of writing was institutionalized. These schools prefigured some of our contemporary composition practices: free writing, peer editing, and the use of illustrations as writing prompts. It was in these schools, in fact, where composition instruction as we know it today began, Schultz argues. This book features a chapter on the agency of textbook iconography, which includes illustrations from nineteenth-century composition books as well as a cultural analysis of those illustrations. Schultz also includes a lengthy bibliography of nineteenth-century composition textbooks and student and school newspapers.
