Such being the plan of the work, the author has thought it inexpedient to encumber its pages with rules, definitions, or explanatory details because it has been fully proved that how simple soever a rule may be, the pupil will not readily apply it, unless particularly directed by the teacher and if nature and analogy will direct him to a correct and rhetorical modulation, rules and definitions become superfluous.

These characters, when judiciously employed, fix the meaning and give precision to the signification of sentences, which, in a written form, would be ambiguous or indefinite without them. Thus, I said that he is dishonest it is true and I am sorry for it. Now the meaning of this sentence can be ascertained only by a correct punctuation. If it be punctuated as follows: I said that he is dishonest, it is true, and I am sorry for it the meaning will be, that it is true that I said he was dishonest, and I am sorry that I said so. But if it be punctuated thus, I said that he was dishonest; it is true; and I am sorry for it the meaning will be, I said that he was dishonest; it is true that he was dishonest, and I am sorry that he was so.
