Exercises on Words: Designed as a Course of Practice on the Rudiments of Grammar and Rhetoric

Excerpt from Exercises on Words: Designed as a Course of Practice on the Rudiments of Grammar and Rhetoric

The following manual, published at the request of teachers who wish to adopt the methods which it exemplifies, embodies the first part of the Authors usual course of oral and written exercises, designed to accompany the successive steps of the pupils progress in the study of our own language. The work is intended to aid in rendering the teaching of English grammar and the rudiments of rhetoric, a strictly practical course of training, by leading the pupil to apply the principles presented in the oral instructions of his teacher, and the prescribed lessons of his grammatical and rhetorical text-books, to immediate use, in a series of written exercises, requiring an attentive study and an exact analysis of words. The design of these exercises, in detail, may be seen, by reference to the plan of the course, on a subsequent page.
