Of making text-books on English Composition there is no end. The author of the work here offered consulted more than fifty, and might dou6t!ii haveconsulted as many more. Yet he presents rib apologyfor adding-to the list. Some are too complicated Jtt) bei JielpfuJ; others too dogmatic to be trustworthy; still cf Aiira ajrfe highly valuable only as works of reference. ;M pare iidressed either to the elementary student, to-thrfjolitipiitj.-or to the teacher. Diligent search throughout fourteen years experience in teaching college freshmen classes has brought to the present authors notice not one book which meets the requirements of the students whom year after year he has faced. They ought not, perhaps, to need review of elementary details, but they do need it. They ought, perhaps, to be able to appreciate the finer matters of style, but they are not. This book seeks to give, in small compass, the information and direction which the average boy or girl of seventeen or eighteen, who has had the average training in composition in the grades and the high schools, needs to supplement and enliven his or her ability to write clear English. It is written as much to interest as to insist, as much to stimulate as to command. It gives few rules, and those simple; many suggestions, and those, it is hoped, clear. If it contains one sentence that needs explanation by a teacher, the author has so far failed of his intention.
