The English Master; Student's Guide To Reasoning and Composition

A scarce second edition of this analytical view of the English language, of the human mind, and of the principles of fine writing. The writer explores the importance of language, interpreting the world through senses, what makes up the intellect, reasoning, and the compositions of prose and verse. Contains samples of exemplar poetry such as Shenstone's pastoral ballads and quotes from Milton and Gray. In original publisher's binding. Externally, sound with slight rubbing and marks to boards. Bumping to head and tail of spine with closed tears to head of spine. Internally, preface pages tender otherwise generally firmly bound. Pages are bright with spotting to first and last few pages and occasional handling marks throughout. Good.
