Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Speculative Society, 1764-1904 IT is sixty years since a History of the Speculative Society was published, and it has for a long time been felt that it would be of interest, not only to members, but to many who are not members, if that History were brought down to date. In 1864 the Society celebrated its centenary, and six years later a committee was appointed to consider the matter. In 1871 that committee reported that no new publication should then be undertaken, but that arrange ments might be made to collect information to be used when the proper time should come. The practical out come of this suggestion was the institution of the elaborate system of roll-books, minute-books, and report-books which is now in use, and which preserves a permanent record of all information of general interest concerning each 'member of the Society. For this system of records, which has furnished valuable material in compiling the present volume, the Society is mainly indebted to the secretary of that date, Mr. Charles J. Guthrie. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work. Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

The Formation of College English
Author: Thomas P. Miller
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Pre
ISBN: 9780822956235
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
In the middle of the eighteenth century, English literature, composition, and rhetoric were introduced almost simultaneously into colleges throughout the British cultural provinces. Professorships of rhetoric and belles lettres were established just as print was reaching a growing reading public and efforts were being made to standardize educated taste and usage. The provinces saw English studies as a means to upward social mobility through cultural assimilation. In the educational centers of England, however, the introduction of English represented a literacy crisis brought on by provincial institutions that had failed to maintain classical texts and learned languages. Today, as rhetoric and composition have become reestablished in the humanities in American colleges, English studies are being broadly transformed by cultural studies, community literacies, and political controversies. Once again, English departments that are primarily departments of literature see these basic writing courses as a sign of a literacy crisis that is undermining the classics of literature. The Formation of College English reexamines the civic concerns of rhetoric and the politics that have shaped and continue to shape college English.
