A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

An attempt has been made, in this little manual, to arrange a series of progressive lessons in the use of language, which shall lead the pupil to express thought accurately and concisely, and to avoid, as well as to criticise, the most common inaccuracies of expression. The book in its present form is simply an extension and application of the principles sketched out in theO ralL essons of the authors Elementary Grammar. As will be seen, grammatical terms have been used sparingly those only being introduced with the application of which every pupil ought to be made familiar in the third or fourth year of school life. Sentence-making and composition writing are, it is believed, presented in a natural and attractive manner. Words are given for the pupil to use in sentences. At first, all the words to be used are given; then, a part of them. After the pupil has acquired some facility in the construction of sentences, he is taught to use groups of words, or phrases and clauses, as single words. As a closing exercise in sentence-making, the subject and the predicate of a sentence are given, the pupils being required to suggest modifiers, and to arrange into sentences .such words and groups as he may select. Experience has demonstrated that this is a natural method of instruction, and that pupils taught in this manner soon learn to express their thoughts with accuracy and facility.
