“G. R. Carpenter, Professor of Rhetoric and English Composition in Columbia College, has prepared a work under the title of ‘Exercises in Rhetoric and English Composition,’ in which not so much the science of Rhetoric is mapped out and defined as the practical workings of the art are furnished to the student with just enough of the principles to guide him aright. The author gives an abundance of exercises for the student to study and analyze, and this is the very best kind of help. The scheme of the subject-matter is somewhat unique and novel, but it is comprehensive and lucid.... A very serviceable and suggestive book to read and consult.”—Education.
“The text represents the substance of teaching which a freshman may fairly be expected to compass, and it is set forth with a clearness and directness and brevity so admirable as to make the volume seem almost the realization of that impossible short method of learning to write which has often been sought for, but never with a nearer approach to being found.... We do not hesitate to give unreserved commendation to this little book.”—The Nation.
“Seldom has so much good common sense been put within so brief a space.”—The Boston Herald.
