The book is a guide for students of Harvard College who are taking freshman English courses. It provides practical advice on how to write good essays, how to correct common mistakes, and how to improve one's writing skills. The book is divided into two parts.

The second part focuses on the specific types of essays that students are likely to encounter in their freshman year, such as narrative, descriptive, and argumentative essays. Throughout the book, Copeland emphasizes the importance of expressing oneself clearly and effectively. He provides numerous examples of good and bad writing and offers detailed explanations of why certain sentences and paragraphs work better than others. He also provides practical exercises and assignments to help students improve their writing skills. Overall, Freshman English and Theme-Correcting in Harvard College is a valuable resource for any student who wants to improve their writing skills.
