Practical Rhetoric 



A Rational and Comprehensive Text-Book for the use of 

 High Schools and Colleges. By John Duncan 

 Quackenbos, A.M., M.D., Emeritus Professor of 

 Rhetoric in Columbia University. 



Cloth, i2mo, 477 pages. Price, $1.00 



npHlS work differs materially from all other text-books 

 of rhetoric both in plan and method of treatment. 

 It first develops, in a perfectly natural manner, the laws 

 and principles which underlie rhetorical art, and then 

 shows their use and practical application in the different 

 processes and kinds of composition. The book is clear, 

 simple, and logical in its treatment, original in its depar- 

 ture from technical rules and traditions, copiously illus- 

 trated with examples, and calculated in every way to 

 awaken interest and enthusiasm in the study. A large 

 part of the book is devoted to instruction and practice in 

 actual composition work in which the pupil is encouraged 

 to follow and apply genuine laboratory methods. 



The lessons are so arranged that the whole course, 

 including the outside constructive work, may be satisfac- 

 torily completed in a single school year. 



Copies of Quackenbos s Practical Rhetoric will be scut prepaid to 

 any address, on receipt of the price, by the Publishers. Correspondence 

 relating to terms for introduction is cordially invited.
