註釋

This edition offers a wide range of writing samples that focus on specific techniques and problems of composition. Sections are grouped under traditional rhetorical headings: Exposition; Definition; Persuasion; Description; Description of Character, Narration; Beginnings and Closings; Personal Writing; Writing about Literature; and Style. The editors follow each section first with questions that focus on precise matters of purpose, organization, sentence style, and diction, and second with exercises that encourage students to apply what they have learned to their own writing. A brief headnote introduces each section, identifying the author, summarizing the context of the passage, and indicating the principal writing techniques. In addition, precise assignments about dictation and structure follow each selection.
