Description: YOU ARE CONSIDERING THE ITEM SHOWN IN THE CONDITION SHOWN. YOU WILL LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT. THIS IS:an neat old, original school book from the collection of a school teacher long ago, a have a bunch of his old books, listed individually, mostly with very clean insides, and some wear to the covers as shown. my pictures show you the condition and size of the book. most are from the mid 1800's, and i believe he taught in Springfield Ma. I show any problems i found. no bad smell----i am not listing an edition on these, some may be first editions, but they generally dont say, so i am not either. ---PRINCIPLES & RULES OF STYLE inferred from Examples of Writing by Samual P. Newman, professor of rhetoric in Bowdoin college Published--Portland: wm hyde year--1827 Pages-215 condition as shown, a bit of wear to spine at top, has an old sticker from "springfield young men's institute on inside cover, some cutting to the title page (as shown, spotting at beginning and end of book, some writting in pencil at front and back. NOTE--i believe this is a first edition, it appears on the Bowdoin college web site with the exact same title page----here Bowdoin professor Samuel Newman’s A Practical System of Rhetoric—a prototype of “how to write” books – appears in the first of its 65 editions, becoming one of the most widely used American college texts. ONE OF THE INTERESTING THINGS ABOUT THIS(and my other) OLD SCHOOL BOOKS (pre 1855 or so), is SOMETIMES they are easier to find (new republished) than the original old book (like this is) and because the paper in here is flax(or similar) and not wood pulp, this old book will still last longer then the new ones printed today (because the new ones will brown and fade), and the old ones are also often cheaper, so in 100 years this great old book will still be looking nice inside and then new ones, not so much.
