Excerpt from English, or the Art of Composition: Explained in a Series of Instructions and Examples The plan upon which the present work is formed, will, it is hoped, obviate most of these difficulties; and, by gradually developing the construction and character of the language, will lead the pupil progressively from the formation of the simplest proposition to write with ease and perspicuity upon any subject which may be proposed to him. The principle upon which the system is based, is imitation. Words first, and then sentences of the simplest form, are laid before the pupil, who is required in his writing to use similar words, and to imitate a given model in the construction of his sentences. These words and sentences are not taken at random, but with a due regard to the source Of the ideas which they represent.
