Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plain Principles of Prose Composition There are many excellent people who think that all advice about composition is useless, - that a man has only to know his subject thoroughly, and the expression will come of itself. An English Dissenting minister recently hit upon a very simple way of making a book. He wrote letters to some hundreds Of English authors more or less recognised as competent practitioners of their art, saying that he had undertaken to give a series of lectures on composition to young men, and that he would be glad to have a few words Of advice. Writers are, as a rule, a generous race, and not un susceptible of flattery, and so many Of the eminent men answered the appeal of the ingenious applicant that he was able to make a very interesting book out Of their replies. The remarkable thing was that many of them, even some Of the most eminent, seemed to hold that the less people thought about the style Of their writing, the better they were likely to write.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Rhetoric: With Constructive and Critical Work in Composition "The art of instruction for the secondary school," it has been said, "may be summed up in one sentence: Inspire enthusiastic activity." It is not enough, however, to inspire such activity; provision for its proper exercise must be made. The material that forms the basis of this book was collected in my own classes during a period of years, for the purpose of arousing and satisfying the pupils interest and activity with reference to rhetoric and composition. Later, at the request of teachers, the material was put into the form of a book. That the book might meet general conditions in the classroom, it was submitted before its publication to able instructors and critics, teachers of English in a number of widely separated centres. Their suggestions were valuable, and are incorporated in the book as published. Because many text-books already in use contain admirable presentations of rhetorical principles, with exercises on some of them and with lists of composition subjects, ' it is by no means unnecessary for the author of a new rhetoric to state what differentiates his work from other books on the same subject.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 756 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Composition and Rhetoric Twenty years ago, in'the Preface to the First Edition, the principles upon which this textbook is based were briefly set forth. Since that time, wars and social convulsions, technology and science, have wrought great changes in the world, and so have changed in some degree the context in which the principles of a textbook like this must be applied. But only the context is changed; the principles are not. In its principles the art of rhetoric is not political, nor, in our modern relativist sense, can it ever b scientific. The more shifting the context, the greater the need for firmness as to principles. The criticism to which our educational practices are being subjected, from without and within the Grove of Academe, gives sharp contemporary emphasis to these truths.

Download or read book Rhetoric Or the Principles of Elocution and Rhetorical Composition Classic Reprint written by Samuel Willard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rhetoric, or the Principles of Elocution and Rhetorical Composition An attempt to reduce the principles of read ing to a theoretic system of any considerable extent, is, i am aware, regarded by many, as impracticable and useless. It is said, that the oral expression should in all cases be adapted to the sense, and that as the latter is, so the former should be infinitely various; and there fore not to be regulated by specific rules. It is true, the sentiments we may have occasion to read, are infinitely various; and it is impossible to define by any rules, that can be given, all the diversities, a perfect elocution may require. But the like may with equal truth be afi'irmed of music, and almost every art that can be named. The questions, to be solved by arithmetic, are infinitely various; but still there are many anal ogies among them, whereby they are rendered susceptible of rules, the utility of which it were folly to deny.

Download or read book English Composition Classic Reprint written by Hammond Lamont and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Composition The extent of my indebtedness to writers on English composition is hard to estimate. The books with which I am most familiar and from which I have received most help are Charles Sears Baldwin's Specimens of Description, William Tenney Brewster's Specimens of Narration, Hueber Gray Buehler's Practical Exercises in English, George Rice Carpenter's Exercises in Rhetoric, John F. Genung's Practical Elements of Rhetoric, Robert Herrick and Lindsay Todd Damon's Composition and Rhetoric, Alphonso G. Newcomer's Elements of Rhetoric, Fred. N. Scott and Joseph V. Denney's Paragraph Writing, John Hays Gardiner's Forms of Prose Literature, Adams Sher man Hill's Foundations of Rhetoric, Principles of Rhetoric, and Beginnings of Rhetoric and Composition; George Pierce Baker's Principles of Argumentation, and Barrett Wendell's English Composition. To the last two treatises my debt is direct and obvious. The chapter on argu mentation, like everything recently written on that topic, follows Baker closely; and this book as a whole is based on lvendell. From Professors Gardiner, Hill, Baker, and Wendell I also got more than instruction through books. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Composition in the High School, the First and Second Years Narration is perhaps the most natural form of discourse, and the one most suited to the interests 'and capacities of young people. It ought, therefore, to serve as an introduction to the course in composition in both the first and the second years. Oral narra tion dealing with material at hand, in literature lessons, or in every-day events, has already been mentioned. The transition from the spoken to the written theme is easily effected. Brief ly related incidents and anecdotes will furnish opportunity for dealing with some of the most vital principles of composition. There need be no lack of material, since it can be constantly supplied through the agencies of reading, observation, memory, and imagination. Almost any girl, looking out of a window at home, or any boy, loitering up the street on an errand, will note some incident that will furnish forth the body and sinews of a theme.

Download or read book The Composer s Handbook written by Ralph Dunstan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Composer's Handbook: A Guide to the Principles of Musical Composition The author's experience as a teacher has convinced him that condensed and didactic statements of facts and theories are of little use to the elementary student. Line upon line, and precept upon precept will alone avail to produce an abiding impression. Hence the general principles of composition - what the late Rev. John Curwen called the Common places of Music - have been steadily kept in view, enforced by constant reiteration, and illustrated by numerous examples from the works of past and present composers; while, to prevent the student's attention from being diverted to side issues, no attempt has been made to deal with those extraordinary and exceptional developments of music which lie beyond average attainment, nor with the exaggerated and bizarre efforts of those composers who endeavour to take music out of its proper sphere. The Table of Contents indicates the general scope of this work; but 'it may be mentioned that Cadences, which are always particularly difficult for the beginner to manage effectively, are treated with special fulness in the first four chapters. Several tables have been prepared to show exactly what cadences the older composers were in the habit of using, and also the tendencies of modern practice and it is hoped that these tables will be found useful, not only to students, but to teachers. Among other topics which have received special attention are Songs, Two-part and Three-part Writing, Pianoforte Accompaniments, Accompaniments for Strings, and Scoring for Small Orchestras. Although this is not avowedly a treatise on Musical Form, all the smaller forms of composition are fully discussed while the analyses of the larger forms (sonata, Symphony, are sufficient to point out the lines of study necessary for their more complete investigation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in Composition: In Which the Principles of the Art Are Developed in Connection With the Principles of Grammar; Embracing Full Directions on the Subject of Punctuation; With Copious Exercises A county superintendent of common schools, speaking of the important branch of composition, in a communication bearing date July 27, 1844, uses the following language: "For a long time I have noticed with regret the almost entire neglect of the art of original composition in our common schools, and the want of a proper text-book upon this essential branch of education. Hundreds graduate from our common schools with no well-defined ideas of the construction of our language." The writer might have gone further, and said that multitudes graduate, not only from common schools, but from some of our best private institutions, utterly destitute of all practical acquaintance with the subject; that to many such the composition of a simple letter is an irksome, to some an almost impossible, task. Yet the reflecting mind must admit that it is only this practical application of grammar that renders that art useful - that parsing is secondary to composing, and the analysis of our language almost unimportant when compared with its synthesis. One great reason of the neglect noticed above, has, no doubt, been the want of a suitable text-book on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Modern Composition and Rhetoric: Brief Course; Containing the Principles of Correct English for Schools Nearly two thousand years ago Quintilian defined rhetoric as the art of speaking well. Had he lived in the present age, he would undoubtedly have said, the art of speaklng and' of writing well. No better phrase can be found to describe the true function of rhetoric to-day. Previous to the last decade it was regarded as an ornamental study, abounding in theory and subtle dis tinctions of diction and style. With the development of the study of English in the schools came an awakening to the true value of rhetoric, and its relation to the study of literature and composition. To-day rhetoric and com position are inseparably associated in teaching the methods of simple, direct, and accurate expression, the principle of one being supplemented by the abundant practice of the other.
