Outlines of Rhetoric.

Embodied in Rules, Illustrative Examples, and a Progressive Course of Prose Composition. By JOHN F. GENUNG, Professor of Rhetoric in Amherst College. 12mo. Cloth. viii+331 pages. Mailing price,

$1.10; for introduction, $1.00.

GENUNG'S Outlines is in no sense a condensation or adaptation

of the author's "Practical Elements of Rhetoric," but an entirely new book prepared for a different field. The book is designed for use in high schools, academies, and seminaries, and for elementary courses in colleges.

Great care has been taken in this work to state the principles in such plain and simple language that the pupil will not fail to understand; and such is its clearness that even beginners will find many of the deeper principles of expression, as well as the simpler, both lucid and interesting.

Minto's Manual of English Prose Literature.

Designed mainly to show characteristics of style. By WILLIAM MINTO, late Professor of Logic and English Literature, University of Aberdeen, Scotland. 12mo. Cloth. 566 pages. Mailing price, $1.65; for introduction, $1.50.

THE main design is to assist in directing students in English composition to the merits and defects of the principal writers of prose, enabling them, in some degree at least, to acquire the one and avoid the other. The Introduction analyzes style: elements of style, qualities of style, kinds of composition. Part First gives exhaustive analyses of De Quincey, Macaulay, and Carlyle. These serve as a key to all the other authors treated. Part Second takes up the prose authors in historical order, from the fourteenth century up to the early part of the nineteenth.

Hiram Corson, Professor of English Literature, Cornell University Without going outside of this book, an earnest student could get a knowledge of English prose styles, based on the soundest principles of criticism, such as he could not get in any twenty volumes which I know of.

Katharine Lee Bates, Professor of English, Wellesley College: It is of sterling value.

J. Scott Clark, formerly Professor of Rhetoric, Syracuse University : We have now given Minto's English Prose a good trial, and I am so much pleased that I want some more of the same.

A. W. Long, formerly of Wofford College, Spartanburg, S.C.: I have used Minto's English Poets and English Prose the past year, and am greatly pleased with the results.

From Chaucer to Shirley.

By WILLIAM MINTO, late Professor of Logic and English Literature, University of Aberdeen, Scotland 12mo. Cloth. xi+382 pages. Mailing price, $1.65; for introduction, $1.50.
