Practical Exercises in English Composition

Excerpt from Practical Exercises in English Composition: Or the Young Composer's Guide Of the numerous works on education that have been issued from the press, none that has appeared on the subject of English Composition seems to afford the young composer the necessary assistance to the successful pursuit of this study. Without entering into a detail of the defects of the systems before the public, it is sufficient to remark that they presuppose more mature thought, and a closer acquaintance with language than the pupil has acquired at the proper time to commence the study of this art. The work here presented is designed as a sequel to the author's New System of English Grammar, which forms a gradual introduction to the first principles of composition. The plan pursued in the following exercises, as in the work mentioned, is founded on the application of the principle of imitation.
