PREFACE.

THE following work, intended for use in Schools, consists of Two Parts. Part I. is divided into four books, the first of which treats of the Simple Sentence; the second, of Complex and Compound Sentences; and the third, of Punctuation and Dictation. In the fourth, application is made of the principles laid down in the preceding divisions; and the pupil begins the construction of Simple Narrative, for which his previous exercises will have been sufficient preparation. The course embraced in Part I. is calculated to extend over a session of one year.

Part II. treats of the higher branches of English Composition, and is also intended to carry the pupil over another session of one year. It embraces the subjects of Figures, Illustrations, Narratives, the Theme, the Essay, and Versification, selections in Greek, Latin and French, being inserted, so as to adapt the work for use in Classical Seminaries. Parts I. and II. can be had bound together in one volume.

A Key to both Parts has been prepared.
