Excerpt from Letters and Letter Writing: As Means to the Study and Practice of English Composition

The specimen letters in Part I commend them selves by their own value; many of them have not before been given to the general public; some of them are old and very well known; all of them are precious.

The annotated list of letters at the end of this part calls attention to many letters not given in the text.

The work in Part II aims to Show what practical use can be made of the letters in Part I, as models for composition through letter-writing, and to illus trate the adequacy of the epistolary forms for scour ing ease and fluency in written expression. It further aims to show that the average school situa tion through its studies, through the experiences of its student life, and through the larger social life surrounding it, is rich in genuine motives for letters.
