382, [6] pp. 7.5" x 5.25" RHETORIC COURSE AWAITING ITS NEXT STUDENT As stated by Newcomer, this book stands in contrast to most treatises on rhetoric by placing words in subjugation to the ideas behind them. Where most rhetorics begin by wrestling with words, Newcomer's begins with understanding the ideas they express, lest students believe that words are their raw material rather than the far more important ideas they signal. A wonderfully charming 1906 printing of Alphonso Newcomer's course in plain prose composition, with contemporary student notes penciled to the endpapers. Light wear spine tips, lightly soiled cloth, contemporary penciled owner inscription front fly, near fine. Publisher's full brown cloth, blind ruled, spine title in gilt.
