Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Two great obstade Bbeet tiie papil in his fint attempts at composition. The fint is the difficulty of obtaining ideas, (or learning to think;) the second is that of expressing then! properly when obtained. In this Yolume, the author has endeavoured to afford some assistance to the pupil in overcoming bath these difficulties. It is not nnfreqnently the case that the scholar is discouraged in the very onset, and the teacher, firom the want of a regular and progressive system, finds his labours unsuccessful, and his requisitions met with reluctance, if not with opposition. The simplicity of the plan hero proposed, requires no laboured explanation. The first exercise or lesson consists in giving the pupil a word, or a number of words, and instead of asking for a definition of them, reqiring him to use them in sentence or idea of his own From this simple exercise he uled onward through a series of Lessons in easy and regular progression, firom the simplest principles to the most difficult practice. A fter th principle of each lesson is stated, (and, when necessary, explained,) a MoDSL is presented, which is designed to ow the pupil how the exercise is to be performed. The Examples for Pragticx furnish him with the materials with which he is expected to perform his exercise. The teacher will find no difficulty in supplying the deficiency, if the Examples are not sufficiently numerous in some cases, or in omitting what may be superfluous in others. I f, on the first inspection, any of the Lessons appear too difficult, the Author respectfully requests the tests of trial and experience befinre they are condemned. They have been performed, and the Modelt of some of those apparently the most difficult, were written by pupils in the school of which he has the charge. The pupil may be permitted to write simply or familiarly at first: but the teacher should in all cases r

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
