This well-preserved copy of John F. Genung’s “The Practical Elements of Rhetoric” offers a fascinating window into the study of rhetoric and composition in the late 19th century. Published in 1886, this seminal work was a pioneering textbook that helped shape the teaching of rhetoric and writing in American universities. Genung, a professor at Amherst College, drew upon classical rhetorical traditions while adapting them for modern audiences. His emphasis on practical examples and exercises made the book a valuable resource for students and teachers alike. Collectors of vintage educational materials and those interested in the history of rhetoric and composition will appreciate this original edition, which bears the patina of age yet remains structurally sound and readable. Despite its wear, this copy retains the essence of Genung’s influential approach to the art of persuasive communication.
