Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem of Style Whether it is with the vain hope of giving to the language of criticism, like the symbols of mathematics, a constant and invariable significance, or with the more reasonable aim of gaining a more exact control over the instruments of his craft, the critic is preoccupied by an ideal of definition. If he cannot legislate for the republic of letters, and determine the sense in which terms of criticism must be used, he can try to discover and distinguish the senses in which they are used. He invariably finds that the confusion is great. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Mechanism of English Style Classic Reprint written by Lewis Worthington Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanism of English Style This book is the result of a conviction that telling students how to write, lecturing at them or to them, giving them rules and principles and counselings will not make writers. Nothing but an intimate acquaintance with the work of those who have in some high degree mastered the problem of literary expression will materially help them to a like command of the resources of style. The problem is one of method. How shall a student be induced to focus his attention long enough and minutely enough upon the intricacies of written speech? How can he be led to turn sentences over and over until the rationale of their form and ordering settles into his consciousness as an almost instinc tive understanding? There may be various satisfactory answers to these ques tions, but the answer of this volume is embodied primarily in Chapter IX and in the reference of the questions there to specific portions of the texts. This direct application of the questions will be found at the bottom of each page of the extracts. No doubt to many this method will seem some what mechanical. It has been developed as a system of pre cision, a system for achieving a degree of scholarly certitude in a subject in which such certitude is unusually difficult. By reason of that difficulty, ease and assurance in reaching this end cannot be expected through a method that is not fairly rigid. It will then inevitably be more or less me chamical. If the individual instructor feels that he has other and more adequate means of arriving at this result there is no reason for his not employing his own system.

Download or read book Greek Prose Composition Classic Reprint written by Henry Carr Pearson and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 2018-04-25 with total page 240 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Problem There was scarcely a person, place, or thing around the charming village of Woodrow that Dr. Hunt M. Warren did not know and love. It was, therefore, no wonder that the people of that place loved him; or that Grandma Adams when she fell and broke her wrist, or little Susie Plummer when she had the croup wanted Dr. Warren instead of the young Dr. Ellery who had recently settled there, and had made his brags about feeding Warren's horses on straw before the season was over. The people of that little town were a genuine people who recognized and appreciated true worth, and never more so than in their tried and trusted friend who had stood so loyally by them in storm and sunshine. One morning, in the latter part of August, Dr. Warren waked, turned over, looked at his watch, and wondered how much longer he might allow himself this luxury.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Master Problem T is not easy to write a foreword to this most im portant book, which contains a mass of information, much of it painful, and yet all of it necessary for the social and moral reformer to know. One almost hesitates to ask people to study so much that makes one feel how far we are from having a world populated by people living under the influence of God, the Father of the World. But I am encouraged to recommend this book because I am satisfied that the indifference shown to the great sex questions is mainly due to ignorance. If once we can rouse people to a sense of the awfulness of all those evils with which this book deals, we shall, I believe, find that the mass of humanity will be active on the side of reform. No man or woman reading these pages will afterwards be able to plead the excuse of not knowing how terrible the conditions are under which some people are living, and how heroic must be any reforms attempted. God prosper this book for the bettering of humanity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Representative Essays on the Theory of Style Classic Reprint written by W. T. Brewster and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Representative Essays on the Theory of Style The practical object of this book is defined by the various treatises and handbooks for rhetorical study now in the field. These are (1) the many excellent text-books on the subject that have appeared in the last twenty-five or thirty years; (2) books of what is called rhetorical analysis, approaching the study of composition through examination of distinguished stylists; (3) treatises on the main types of literary method, as description, narration, exposition, and argumentation, often accompanied by precept and rule for the writing of themes; and (4) books of general and wholesome counsel in literary affairs. Excluding these classes, one has left the very numerous essays on the theory of style, and it is the chief of these in English, written by distinguished authors, that are here presented. They are selected from a contemporary rather than a historical point of view, and taken collectively, they represent the more important bearings of the subject with as little repetition and in as much variety of idea as possible. Newman's essay may be regarded as an introduction, in that it states the general problem of literature. The essays of De Quincey, Spencer, and Lewes follow, with statements of general principles and exposition of methods of a suggestive and interesting sort. Stevenson, particularly, and Pater are somewhat more confined; and Mr. Harrison's essay is an example of the safe, practical talk, the name of which is legion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Industrial Colonies and Village Settlements for the Consumptive Symonds, and we together examined the patients, sampled the climate and other conditions, and argued with Unger and Ruedi. Then for the second time came Hope; more solid Hope. Given a fairly early case, and three years, and recovery was in the offing. And so we went on cheerfully with Davos. But Davos was not for every one; nor was every case an early 'one. Then came the discovery that lower altitudes would do if certain conditions were obtained; and so arose the great sanatorium movement. But slowly we found that patients could not spend their lives in sanatoriums; and one day on making my way up to one of them in England, I met on the way patient after patient, slouching along, bored to death with themselves and with each other; and even worse in morale than in body. Better discipline and better notions of thera peutics mended some of that; still I could not forget those listless saunterers, and it became evident to some of us, however unwillingly, that Hope was drooping again. The sanatorium was doing a great educative work no doubt; but at the end of its four or six months - what then? To send the patient away with recommendations about light jobs, and a regime, was almost a mockery or quite. What about the wage, and the family to be supported? The next lesson was brought home to me by a visit with other commissioners to certain cities, concerning some such problems. Before me now I see a gaunt hollow-eyed man, coughing, and leaning against the wall as he tried to talk to us, saying that his mates when he came out of the sanatorium - good fellows as they were - had bought him a milk that he might creep round, and earn a bit. The brave wife, shawl on head and mill apron on, had just come from the factory, and apologised for the dirty house - as well she might. The poor thing was working all day at the factory to keep the wolf from the door. All being dragged down together into the pit! What is the value of a good house, or a clean house, if no wages! What is there for the children? And what is to stop the infection! Who then would have the imagination, the initiative, the business capacity, to lift this burden, like lifting a world?
