Synopsis
Exercises In Rhetoric And English Composition: (Advanced Course) by George Rice Carpenter. This volume presents a practical course in rhetoric and English composition designed for fresh- man year study. Carpenter treats rhetoric as an art rather than a science, emphasizing correctness, clarity, and vigor in expression. The work outlines a fourfold framework—Words, Sentences, Paragraphs, and the Whole Composition—and then moves through the elements of style, including the qualities of clearness, force, and elegance. The book offers a methodical program grounded in the principle of “good use,” and provides abundant exercises for students to practice composing and revising prose. Topics include punctuation, vocabulary, idioms, barbarisms and improprieties, and the handling of prose forms such as long and short sentences, periodic and loose constructions, unity, emphasis, and coherence. It also supplies directions for writing themes and correction signs, with models drawn from classical and modern authors. Overall, the work aims to cultivate precise, idiomatic English and to show how style serves both practical communication and intellectual and ethical aims.
