ORAL AND WRITTEN BY CHARLES SEARS BALDWIN, A.M., PH.D. PROFESSOR OF RHETORIC IN COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY LONGMANS, GREEN, AND CO. FOURTH AVENUE & 30TH STREET, NEW YORK LONDON, BOMBAY, AND CALCUTTA PREFACE THIS book is an adaptation of my Writing and Speaking to more rapid use by more advanced students. Both the order and the proportions have been changed; parts have been re-cast; many of the exercises have been modified or made over; and the whole has been reduced in size by about a third. Otherwise the two books are substantially the same. The chapters on description and narration and other parts most closely related to the study of literature have been changed least, since the adaptation demanded in these cases is rather of themes than of text. I hope the book in this form will serve those colleges who wish more detailed review of elementary applications, and less detailed study of style, than are found in my College Manual of Rhetoric.
