The Elements Of English Composition: A Preparation For Rhetoric by Lucy A. Chittenden is a comprehensive manual designed for school-level English composition and rhetoric. Originally published in 1884 and reissued in 2019, this book is tailored for lower grades of high school to help students develop correct writing skills before advancing to rhetorical studies. It adopts a practical approach, starting with punctuation and capitals, and progressing through the transformation of elements, principles of expression, and the organization of ideas. The volume includes extensive exercises in composition—Reproduction, Development, and Paraphrase—along with numerous rules and examples for punctuation, covering periods, commas, semicolons, colons, dashes, hyphens, quotation marks, and more. Additionally, it features chapters on letter writing, paraphrase, and the distinctions between direct and indirect narration, as well as emphasis, climax, inversion, and the use of pronouns and relative clauses. Rich with model pieces, topical outlines, and guidance, this text aims to cultivate clarity, order, and style in student writing while fostering good writing habits.
