Synopsis
English Composition By Practice by Edward Richard Shaw is an instructional treatise that explores the theory and practice of writing in English, designed to enhance unity, fluency, and expressive power. The work is structured around two main components: a study of the principles that underpin effective writing through observation, comparison, and inference, and consistent practice in connected composition. Shaw replaces traditional exercises with cohesive selections, excerpts, and stories to teach readers how to recognize sequence, transition, and coherence in their writing. The text focuses on developing a refined sense of punctuation and provides practical rules for punctuation and spelling. It offers guidance on memory-based rewrites, outline-driven essays, and the essential mechanics of sentence structure, diction, and figurative language. Comprehensive supporting materials—including prefaces, introductions, footnotes, appendices of punctuation rules, correction marks, and examples—aid both teachers and students in achieving stylistic mastery. This edition reflects late-19th-century pedagogical approaches and the timeless goal of cultivating clear, effective writers.
