The author, Edwin Herbert Lewis-a PhD in English and associate literature professor shares his vast knowledge of composition of English language, based on his classroom experience. In his own words: “It sometimes happens that the study of the principles of composition is left until the overcrowded last year of the high school, under the plea that facts ought to precede generalizations. Is it not better to have the pupil begin two or three years earlier than this to frame simple generalizations for his own future guidance?”
