About This Book

The text presents practical guidance on composing clear explanatory prose, opening with the aims and material of exposition and then treating methods such as definition, analysis, and the organization of mechanisms and processes. It distinguishes types of reader interest—satisfaction and stimulation—and shows how tone can range from technical instruction to conversational essay. Separate chapters offer techniques for criticism, informal essay and expository biography, and for gathering and handling research material. Emphasis rests on audience awareness, structured development, clarity of expression, and exercises to help students explain ideas and procedures effectively.

Transcriber's Note

Black accents have been added to the Cover Image to make it more readable. This modified cover is placed in the public domain.

Obvious typographical errors were repaired, as listed below. Other apparent inconsistencies or errors have been retained. Missing, extraneous, or incorrect punctuation has been corrected. Most of the inconsistent hyphenation has been retained as many appear in quoted passages.

Missing page numbers are attributed to blank pages.

Page 87, "wihe" changed to "with". (The value of this method lies in its liveliness and the ease with which it makes an idea comprehended.)

Page 97, "aboveall" changed to "above all" for consistency. (And above all, he will never forget the gleam of idealism that he received in the old halls, the vision of his chance to serve his fellows.)

Page 203, "froward" changed to "forward". (... and my trivial story of his humoring a forward child weighs but as a feather in the recorded scale of his benevolence.)
