Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Forms of Discourse With an Introductory Chapter on Style

Every teacher must have noticed that a pupil has a better style when he writes on a well-chosen subject and in accordance with a carefully prepared plan.

The study of style should be carried on simultaneously with that of invention. The purpose of the first chapter of this book is to present the essentials of the former subject as briefly as possible. Few illustrations have been given, both because of the limitations of space, and because the author feels that such examples should be chosen by the teacher from the pupil's own work. No matter how full and complete a text-book may be, the errors that it illustrates will often be just those that the pupil does not commit. If the blackboard and modern copying devices are wisely used, the presentation of examples from the written exercises of the class need not add greatly to the work of the teacher.
