Synopsis
Excerpt from Composition-Rhetoric: Designed for Use in Secondary Schools
IN the preparation of this work the authors have been guided by three considerations, which have seemed to them to be of fundamental importance.
First, it is desirable that a closer union than has pre vailed hitherto be brought about between secondary com position and secondary rhetoric. That rhetoric in the high school should be regarded as a thing apart from composi tion, that it should be regarded simply as a course, to be pursued and passed and put out of remembrance as quickly as possible, is not good either for rhetoric or for composi tion. In this book, as the name signifies, no such apartness has been recognized. The rhetoric which is found in this book is meant to be the theory of the pupil's practice, nothing more, - the explicit statement of principles which are implicit in all successful elementary composition. If here and there the temptation to put in rhetorical furniture which no gentleman's mind should be without, has not been wholly thrust aside, such temptation has, at least, been manfully resisted. To this let the treatment of figurative expressions bear witness.
