Excerpt from Elements of the English Language: An Introduction to the Study of Grammar and Composition for Common Schools

But the text-book on Composition should not only be an aid to the acquisition of correct expression, but a means of cultivating habits of thought and observation. With this end in view, the exercises should be on simple and familiar objects, if possible visible at the time of study, the child's attention being thus more readily awakened, and its interest sustained. The contents of Part II. Of this work seem to me to happily meet our requirements in this respect. By a well prepared arrangement of lessons on common objects, and exercises in comparison, memory, the senses, the results of experiments, the sources of things, their parts, and their uses, the Author has done much to elaborate a useful system of elementary training.
