Sobre IBD

These talks were given in the autumn of 1894 as a course on Advanced English Composition in the Lowell Free Classes, and that they are now printed is largely due to the fact that they were so well received by those who then heard them. In preparing them, I consulted whatever books upon composition came to my hand. I examined some with profit, some with pleasure, and some, it must be confessed, not wholly without amusement, or even impatience. Doubtless, I owe something to many of these books; but I am not conscious of much obligation to any save the 'Principles of Rhetoric,' by Professor A. S. Hill, 'English Composition,' by Professor Barrett Wendell, and 'English Prose,' by Professor John Earle.
