Composition-Rhetoric by George Earle Merkley and Arthur C. Ferguson. This high-school level rhetoric and composition handbook guides students through theory and practice of English composition. It blends deductive and inductive methods, and is organized into parts addressing the beginnings of composition, then the kinds of composition (prose and poetry), then the structure of sentences, paragraphs, and the whole composition, with extensive instruction on grammar, punctuation, word-choice, and usage. The book emphasizes clarity, unity, force, and ease in writing and provides numerous examples, drills, and exercises. It covers description, narration, exposition, and argument, as well as the analysis of grammar and the correct use of language. It also includes sections on “Good Use,” “Incorrect Words,” and “Superfluous Words,” and chapters on the preparation of the whole composition, transitions, and criticism. A thorough resource for teachers and students seeking a structured approach to composition and rhetoric.
