“This is a book on a subject concerning which few, if any, books have been written and very little published anywhere. Engineers who have to do with patented inventions and their commercial exploitation will also find much instructive and helpful matter in this treatise.”

“The writer of this work displays an intimate knowledge of his subject, evidently, at least considerably, acquired through experience. His attitude is well balanced, and his discussions take both sides of the question. He appears to pay equal attention to advantages and disadvantages, and not to be carried to unjustifiable extremes in any of his discussion.”

Written from a conviction that the link between substance and form, between knowledge and expression ought never to be broken, this volume includes a body of literary models, for the most part by masters of expression, illustrating and reiterating the salient principles of most good handbooks on English prose composition. The work is suggestive and of wide scope.
“An interesting contribution to the apparatus for the teaching of rhetoric.”
