Composition for Naval Officers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Composition for Naval Officers
The work in compo itiou, as planned in this book, differs from the usua treatments of the subjects in that it is designed to meet the special needs of the naval ofiicer. Much that is usually studied in text books ou composition is therefore omitted in order that certain essentials may be emphasized. The venerable band of brothers, Narration, Description, Exposition, and Argumentation, are here given a leave of absence in order that the midshipman may put his time and energy into the fundamentals of English and the spe cific forms of expression that he is bound to employ throughout his career. It is also the idea of the authors to condense the text in order that less time may be spent in reading advice about writing and more time put on actual writing. This book does not pretend to be a complete treatment of composition. It pre supposes the presence of a trained instructor in the section room, who can be depended on to supplement the text whenever necessary.
