Synopsis
Practical Composition: With Numerous Models And Exercises by Mary J. Harper. This instructional manual equips teachers and students with practical methods for developing the art of composition, both spoken and written. The work opens with a Preface explaining common obstacles to teaching and lays out a program of progressive, model-based instruction. Its contents cover oral composition, written composition, punctuation, and the technical aspects of grammar and style, including sections on sentence structure, parts of speech, modifiers, and the correct use of capitalization and punctuation. The volume presents numerous models and exercises—for describing places and people, eliciting observations, rehearsing stories, and drafting letters, essays, and speeches—and explains how to copy and format compositions for publication. It also surveys types of prose and poetry, the elements of correct composition, and rhetorical figures. In addition, there are chapters on newspapers, business correspondence, and various forms of public writing. Originally published in 1869, Practical Composition remains a practical reference for teachers and students seeking clear guidelines and adaptable exercises.
