Excerpt from Specimens of Prose Description

Indeed, the editor deprecates all charges of omis sion. Scott and Thackeray, Dickens and George Eliot, are so near to every one's elbow that the student should be encouraged to bring into class and discuss those passages which seem to him most impressive. The omission of every teacher's favorite description is of the less moment because that description every teacher will surely quote. If the descriptions found here are good, each in its kind; if the kinds are many; finally, if the method in each case is pointed without being obtrusive, this little book will serve its purpose.

Excerpt from Specimens of Prose Description

These Specimens of Prose Description, though intended primarily for college classes, will be found available in the higher classes of schools. For not only is description, in its simpler forms, the kind of writing most proper to elementary work in composition, but even the theory of description, and its application in more finished art, may be very stimulating without being at all confusing. In fact, it is difficult to conduct a course in description adequately without leading up to the few fundamental principles enunciated here. And where the elaboration of these principles may seem beyond the grasp of the younger student, it is hoped that they will still be convenient for the teacher.

To avoid the ugliness of a catalogue of fragments, the shorter extracts have been grouped within the introduction. Of course these are quite as important as the longer pieces, and are equally recognized in the index. Moreover, they serve, not only to give point to the enunciation of principle, but also to obviate the necessity of scattered comment on the longer pieces.
