A county superintendent of common schools, speaking of the important branch of composition, in a communication bearing date July 27, 1844, uses the following language: "For a long time I have noticed with regret the almost entire neglect of the art of original composition in our common schools, and the want of a proper text-book upon this essential branch of education. Hundreds graduate from our common schools with no well-defined ideas of the construction of our language." The writer might have gone further, and said that multitudes graduate, not only from common schools, but from some of our best private institutions, utterly destitute of all practical acquaintance with the subject; that to many such the composition of a simple letter is an irksome, to some an almost impossible, task. Yet the reflecting mind must admit that it is only this practical application of grammar that renders that art useful - that parsing is secondary to composing, and the analysis of our language almost unimportant when compared with its synthesis.
One great reason of the neglect noticed above, has, no doubt, been the want of a suitable text-book on the subject.
