About this title

Synopsis

Elements Of English Composition, Grammatical, Rhetorical, Logical, And Practical: Prepared For Academies And Schools is a comprehensive late-19th-century English-writing primer designed for American academies and common schools. Presented as Part 1 of a four-part series, it blends grammar, rhetoric, logic, and practical composition into a prescriptive classroom manual. The text surveys biography and historical writing, travel description, and literary composition, with abundant exercises, samples, and rules aimed at clear, accurate expression and moral instruction. It covers biography and historical sketches (e.g., Shakespeare, Washington), essay and disputation forms, and extensive rules for biographical narrative, alongside guidance on letter-writing, including specimen letters and etiquette. It also treats invention and argumentation, description and reasoning, and a substantial treatment of verse, meter, rhyme, and versification, with notes on punctuation, paragraphing, and stylistic finesse. The volume emphasizes sources, illustration, revision, and critical method, drawing on biblical and classical exempla. It is a didactic reference for teachers and students of English in the late 1800s, combining model passages with systematic drills and prompts.
