Skeleton Themes: Intended To Assist In Teaching And Acquiring The Art Of Composition (1851) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781437307818)

Skeleton Themes: Intended To Assist In Teaching And Acquiring The Art Of Composition is a book written by Margaret Thornley and originally published in 1851. The book is designed to help students learn the art of composition by providing them with a series of pre-written ""skeleton themes"" that they can use as a starting point for their own writing. These skeleton themes are essentially outlines that provide a structure for students to follow as they develop their own ideas and arguments.The book is divided into two parts. The first part includes a series of skeleton themes grouped by subject matter, such as history, science, and literature. Each theme includes a brief introduction that provides some context for the subject matter and a list of key points that students can use to develop their own arguments.The second part of the book includes a series of exercises designed to help students practice their composition skills. These exercises include tasks such as rewriting a skeleton theme in a different style or from a different perspective, or using a skeleton theme as the basis for a debate or discussion.Overall, Skeleton Themes: Intended To Assist In Teaching And Acquiring The Art Of Composition is a useful resource for students and teachers alike who are looking to improve their writing skills. The skeleton themes provide a solid foundation for students to build upon, while the exercises help them to develop their own unique voice and style.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
