Excerpt from An Introduction to the Use of the English Language: Grammar and Rhetoric Combined The questions given are designed to lead the student to see the truth for himself. Having seen it, he should be required to express it accurately. Every recitation should be an exercise in accurate oral expression. In some cases answers have been given to questions. This would not have been done, could the author have felt sure that the book would be used only by well trained teachers. Such teachers will not confine themselves to the text-book. They will use it in such a manner as to combine the advantages of Oral and of text-book instruction. The author begs leave to remind the teachers who may use his work, that the vocabulary of the young student is very limited; hence their instructions may not be understood. Great care should be taken to have the student understand the mean ing of every word in the lesson, and of every word uttered by the teacher.
