About this title

Synopsis

Elements Of English Composition, Grammatical, Rhetorical, Logical, And Practical is a 19th-century instructional handbook on English composition and grammar designed for school use from beginner to advanced levels. Originating in the 1860s and later issued in reprint form, the work compiles rules, explanations, and extensive exercises to develop correct, clear, and forcible writing. It covers grammar, syntax, punctuation, capitalization, and rhetorical skill, balancing theory—such as parts of speech, sentence structure, punctuation, and style—with applied practice including copying, dictation, sentence building, error correction, and composition. The volume is heavily prescriptive, stressing accuracy, precision, and lucidity of expression, and presents material in sequential lessons with explicit rules and numerous examples. Part 1 surveys capitalization, punctuation, and the noun/pronoun/adjective/verb systems, along with inflection, infinitives, participles, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, interjections, and basic etymology, supplemented by substantial exercises and illustrative model sentences. It also features a Latin-derived word formation section to enhance vocabulary. Overall, it serves as a comprehensive curriculum in grammar and composition with a strong emphasis on practice and rhetorical control.
