AN INTRODUCTORY COURSE IN 

 ARGUMENTATION .... |i.oo 



By FRANCES M. PERRY, Associate Professor 

 cf Rhetoric and Composition, Weilesley College. 



SIMPLIFIED to suit tlie understanding of students in the 

 first years of college or the last years of the secondary 

 school without lessening its educative value. Each suc- 

 cessive step is given explicit exposition and fully illustrated, 

 and carefully graded exercises are provided to test the 

 student's understanding of an idea and fix it in his memory. 

 The beginner is set to work to exercise his reasoning power 

 on familiar material and without the added difficulty of re- 

 search. The brief-drawing method and the syllogistic method 

 have been combined so that the one will help the student to 

 understand the other. Though the course calls for a sustained 

 piece of work, its preparation and criticism by installments 

 are provided for, so that there is no dearth of work during 

 the course and no accumulation of work at its close. 



PERRY'S INTRODUCTORY COURSE 

 IN EXPOSITION $i.oo 



A SYSTEMATIZED course in the theory and practice 

 of expository writing. The student will acquire from 

 itsstudy a clear understanding of exposition — its nature; 

 its two processes ; its three functions; and the special applica- 

 tion of exposition in literary criticism. He will also gain 

 through the practice required by the course facility in writing 

 in a clear and attractive way the various types of exposition. 

 The volume includes an interesting section on literary 

 criticism. The method used is direct exposition, amply 

 reinforced by examples and exercises. The illustrative matter 

 is taken from many and varied 'sources, but much of it is 

 necessarily modern. The book meets the needs of students in 

 the final years of secondary schools, or the first years of college.
