Présentation de l'éditeur

English as is a technical knowledge of grammar. As a groundwork for the study of composition, rhetoric, and English literature, there ought to be, for students not pursuing a classical course, some systematized course of word studies for the purpose of giving accuracy and force in writing, and for enabling pupils to appreciate the diction of the masterpieces of style. The vocabulary of most pupils, when admitted to High Schools or Normal Schools, is quite limited ;and, to judge from the result of teachers written examinations, comparatively few of the graduates of High or Normal Schools have been trained to discriminate the finer shades of signification in the use of synonymous words, or even to give exact definitions. This condensed hand-book is designed to meet a want expressed by many teachers who feel the need of some definite study of the words of our mother-tongue. The only originality claimed for these exercises consists in their arrangement and limitation.
