Présentation de l'éditeur
To experienced teachers it has long been evident that pupils trained in old-style grammar too often lack the power of expression. I ndeed, it has been charged, that though their heads are full of theory, and though they have hundreds of rules at the end of their tongues, they are unable to write a single clear, strong, smoothE nglish sentence. Sheldon sL anguage Lessons will be welcomed by all who believe that technical grammar should be developed side by side with practical composition. In the second book of this comprehensive series, rules and principles are accompanied by illustrative extracts from good authors, and followed by attractive problems in construction. In connection with sentence building, punctuation is introduced; and the rules are correlated with the laws of English expression. By easy lessons in synonyms and figures, and occasional reference to the fundamental principles of effective discourse, students are gradually prepared for a systematic view of rhetoric.
