Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Rhetoric and Composition
The exercises accompanying the text are in two groups, headed I and II. Those under II are based on the succeeding instead of on the preceding chapter. They are inductive in character, calling upon the stu dent to observe, investigate, and think on questions arising in the course of his practice. Similarly the ex ercises on correct usage precede instead of follow the lists of improprieties and solecisms. Rhetoric is an art, and cannot be taught solely by the inductive method; but anything that will awaken the student's interest in what is coming, that will keep him ahead of the text, must surely approve itself to teachers.
