A School Manual of English Composition for Advanced Grammar grades

 This little book is not an addition to the already large number of rhetorics and other works on the theory and mysteries of style. It is strictly a manual for school-work, and has been made with special reference to the rational remodelling recently accomplished, or now in the way of being accomplished, in the Courses of Study in our public schools-a remodelling in which language-training for the first time receives the attention that is its due.
