Reseña del editor

Using Wendell s English Composition. Inquiries concerning the use of this book in teaching lead me to add this statement of how I have used it at Harvard College. In the course where I regularly use it as a text-book, compositions, called themes, of from five hundred to a thousand words, are written every fortnight. On the introductory chapter, which I direct the class to read at once, I do not formally examine the students at all; but I expect them to have read it intelligently before writing the first theme. Between the first theme and the second, I direct them to read the chapter on Words, the suggestions in which they are advised particularly to consider in writing the second theme. When this theme is handed in, each student takes the theme of a fellowstudent and devotes an hour to making, in the class-room, a written analysis of its vocabulary. In this work he is guided by the following plan, sketched on a blackboard: WORDS :1. Grammatical Purity: a. Barbarism. b. I mpropriety. 2. Kinds of Words :a. Latin or Saxon. b. Long or short. c. General or specific. d. Figurative or literal, etc. 3. Number of Words. 4D enotation and Connotation.
