Thanks for sharing these. I've taken a glimpse at them, some look quite useful.
There is a really old one from the 1860's. I listed this one because it was surprisingly simple and straight forward! Some of the older texts are difficult to follow.
I've printed a few of these composition lessons for my son this week. I'll be listing more texts soon. I like to be able pick and choose for quality and content. These printable lessons are a real time saver. I'll try to post my favorites in a separate post, probably on my other blog.
I like that some of them describe the different styles of compostions.
